I don't dispute the advantages of mail.
But I would disagree on segs not protecting the stomach.
Also it gives great protection from blunt trauma, when worn wit ha subarmalis. I cannot personally attest this to mail though, but have my suspicions it is not quite that good.
Also the groin area is exposed on mail wearers as well. Unless it is left in a longer shirt aka Republican variants....which is how I am trying to make mine to fit...
But mails also breaths better, so you would not be suffering from heat prostration as fast as a seg wearer.....
