Experienced fighters know the importance of keeping your arms protected in battle. The Imperial Floating Elbows – Steel Finish includes articulated steel armour that moves with your arms as you bend and flex your elbows. The pair of articulated elbows features interlocked lames for easy movement. This steel elbow armour is intended to be worn over and attached to a padded gambeson for increased comfort. Top-grain leather straps help you to fasten the polished steel armour snugly around your arm. When planning for your next LARP event, make sure you are as protected as possible with the help of the Imperial Floating Elbows armour.
Please be aware that these items are handmade. Slight deviations in pattern, color, and shape may occur.
To properly maintain your steel armour, always keep the metal pieces away from water and lightly oiled to prevent rusting. Occasionally clean the armour with metal polish and re-oil them. Leather care products must be used to maintain the leather fittings as well.

I bought these Floating Elbow plates more for costuming then anything else. Over all construction is pretty good for the price and range of motion is good also. I don’t know how well they would stay on your arm thou, if it was secured to your gambeson you should be okay. The steel is not that thick so I probable would not recommend fighting in then but for costuming and LARP you should be okay.
