Awesome little piece of armor. Nice quality construction with heavy leather straps. I painted mine in a black-and-white checkerboard pattern, beat it up some, and used it as a pallette for protecting the armpit area. Worked great and looks awesome! I’m sure it would be just as good for it’s intended use.
