These are pretty nice, they look real good laced on to my hauberk. The one reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the arm straps are a little short. I can get them buckled on the last hole over my hauberk but if you have large arms or are wearing a thick gambeson you’re going to have trouble. Nothing you couldn’t figure out but just something to be made aware of. Additionally, this is sold as a pair, not an individual shield, this is not mentioned in the description. I ordered 2 thinking that it was just one and got 2 pair. Luckily a friend of mine liked how it looked so much that he wanted the extra set from me.
