My only problem with that is that chain-esque armors have too much of an archaic feel to them, which IMHO isn't as in-genre. Plus, to have decent protective power as opposed to being just a thin sheet of steel, it would have to be pretty heavy, which is a problem when your opponents always have the chance to outrun/outmaneuver you.
What'd probably happen is similar to some bulletproof vest styles today, you have a heavy vest with pockets all over to drop steel plates in. Maybe a light steel mesh sandwiched in there with the kevlar, but primarily plates for antimagic. That way, if you needed to move quickly, it wouldn't be as much hassle to shed the weight, or have minimal protection without as much worry.
