I am about to buy HEMA Kit 16 (800N) from SupFen. Now as far as I am aware they offer medium, heavy and light padding. Does anyone know about the differences of the three? Is it just more padding? Do you have any experience with the differences in padding and mobility? I train mostly with the long sword and am a bit torn between medium and light padding.
I am somewhat experienced with swords so I would like to mostly rely on my skill and mobiliy.
Since it's probably going to come up: Apart from ~10-15 years of historical swordfighting I did epee-fencing when I was a teenager and Muay Thai, Silat and Kali as a young adult. I don't mind being hit as long as I am still somewhat mobile. Is there a good reason to use more padding that I don't see?
