The first goes under the second so is the jacket sized with that in mind? Where does the plastron go - between them or under both? How does that change sizing?

Not sure what makes them functionally different. Sadly, they're not as attractive looking as the stainless mesh on the DWA one. Shouldn't they all have the same crush resistance? Aren't all modern masks 1200N mesh?

Could any of these be considered small sword simulators?
