Very nice full leg armor. The steel is high quality and comfortable to wear. I’m 5’10” average build and these fit perfectly. Please note that the greaves are not fully enclosed. They are open in the back like the rest of the armor. The only reason I’m not giving these 5 stars is because a rivet popped out which caused the knee portion to swing and bend from a single rivet on the side. It’s easily fixable but new armor shouldn’t have rivets flying out.

I would have preferred these with fully enclosed greaves. They make ones that work with this set but I had to buy them separately. Quality is very good for the price.
