I only had two issues with these. One, you need some fairly swool or large forearms to use these without padding. With that said, they can be worked with by either additional padding or bending. The personal issue I have with mine is it seems a small price tag (like you see on fruit) got on it somehow and there’s almost perma gunk on the metal. A bit is coming off per cleaning so I just worked it into a discipline. The straps work, and when you get it set, it works. Fairly pleased with it. If your eyeing the ‘darkened’ set because the sued looks darker, its not. The sued is as dark on the darkened set as it is the polished set. Over all, very pleased.
