I have to say that it's not obvious to me *chuckle*
Has anyone done any testing of this?  The only tests with thrusts
against chainmail
that I've seen have been against something like a sleeve (the gloves
I've seen have smaller links/rings) with long swords and the like.  I
do know that a butchers chain glove has kept my cousin's hand safe
from slips with a point.

Curious,
