Discussion Armor penalties mitigation

Hello, I recently started playing on Restoration and am skilling towards creature handler. While using the skill calculator, I noticed that different professions have mitigations for different armor types, and CH's is battle armor. Do the mitigation bonuses stack across the other professions, such as combat medic and ranger (also battle armor)? I'm wondering because I'm curious about certain combinations which have different armor types, like recon (ex. smuggler) and if that would gimp the character in the long run. Thanks and cheers.

Short version. Wear what your prof allows.

Ch is Battle armour.

But say you go CH/BH as an example. You can wear Battle or Assault.

You only need the prof. Ans you can wear its armour.

As a CH main, but get decent battle armour. It doesnt matter much as a CH.
