I purchased these to go with my 15th-century German kit. The reason I only gave it four stars is because of the lower part of the armor and a few annoyances here and there. do to Using a strap to hold it shut instead of a pin makes it hard to close them all the way and may leave a small gap between the plates, but that’s not really a deal breaker, and it may also improve as I wear in the strap more. The hinges on the outside are kind of an eye-sore for me, but others may not mind, and I could clearly see them in the pictures, so that’s entirely an oversight on my part. I would also make sure they aren’t too big, as even with a doublet, these are pretty big for me. I would also recommend getting a doublet or gambeson with good arming points because this piece tends to slide down. Other than those complaints, this armor serves its purpose well and looks good.

Only reason I gave it four stars is because its a bit loose and tends to slide down without any gauntlets. I had the markward gauntlet, but it didn’t fit for this. I’m guessing you’ll need one of those gauntlets that stop at the wrist and flair up. It is possible to wear them without gauntlets, but you’ll either need to ball your fists constantly, keep your arms bent at all times, or hold a stick or sword in your hands to keep it from sliding down your arm. But, all things considered, for the price, its a great set! Looks great, feels very spacey, you could stick some padding in there if you wanted to.
