SPES AP Light Pro Plus 350n vs SPES AP Light 800N

Hey guys!

I've been using my SPES AP Pro 800n NG jacket for a few years now, but it is really hot and it restricts movements a lot.

I would like to get a lighter jacket that offers more freedom of movement and that is less hot. I am currently stuck trying to decide between the SPES AP Light Pro Plus 350n and the SPES AP Light 800n (the newest variations of those jackets that is currently available). I only do Longsword, metal feders, full contact sparring.

I am just worried that the AP Light 800n won't be a big enough upgrade from my current jacket. I don't mind small bruises, but I saw that the AP Light 350n has almost no padding in a lot of areas. I'm not sure if this is different for the pro plus version, since it seems to focus on better protection.

If anyone could share some experiences with either or both jackets, I would be very thankful!!
