Medieval Iron Gorget Spaulders Arm Shoulder Set Viking Crusader Pauldrons Armor

Great quality, and not just for the price. Fit can be a little awkward - I had to add holes into the straps so that it would stay up on my arms. Otherwise, great product. It was a hit at the costume party.

Good quality

I had to adjust them a bit, punching new holes into the leather straps that hold the shoulders to the neck piece. The straps aren't the same length on mine so the fit was a bit off. I'm a BIG guy, shoulder to shoulder I'm 2 feet wide, my arms are about 20 inches around and they fit in the arm section well. There is enough room for chainmail and a thick shirt under that. The neck piece is in 2 sections and clips together with little studs. I had to bend it all a bit to adjust it to me, but it's in decent alignment. Overall for around 60 bucks with tax and shipping these are well worth it. I'm very pleased.Only downside is the plates aren't riveted to each other, they are attached to straps of leather. If those tear with use it could fall apart, but buying some new leather (maybe a belt from a thrift store/charity shop) and hand riveting it back together shouldn't be too hard.

Like: this was good for the price, it was made well, and fit the way it should.Dislike: the inside of the metal, the protective paint flakes off easy. And the leather is strong but feels like the fake plastic leather. And if you haven't worn a gorget before. This one is abit tight. Not like a choker. But pretty close.I would upload a pic. But I spray painted mine for a better protective coating and color.

Overall you get what you pay for with this product. The spaulders (shoulder guards) are actually pretty good with some good articulation and movability. They can also be bent to fit your arms better. But where it really lacks is the gorget itself. It is very obviously a mass produced product, so as a result, the fit is really bad. If you are on the smaller side, this is particularly glaring. If you are on the bigger side, this will most likely fit a bit better.The way the front and back of the gorget connect is very awkward and leaves an uncomfortable overlap. It would benefit a lot from having straps with buckles to connect the front and back, and would fix the problem with it jutting into your neck. All in all, it's not a bad product, but I would only get this for a one time costume, the spaulders, or a photo shoot.

It fits great, looks gfdat while doing great protecting

As stated in the title, this gorget is good for the price. It is thin gauge steel, which in a way is good because it will need adjusted from how it comes shipped in the box. I've donned and doffed it several times and the leather straps have not failed me yet. the shoulder and arm plates can flop around and refuse to stay in place depending on the width of your arms. I have long and skinny arms so I have to adjust the pauldrons periodically. I modified mine with some coat hooks to have a cape hang from it, but that function is not part of the stock product so I will not comment on that. depending on how you move your arm, the pauldron may make the retaining pins between the two pieces pop out, so be aware of that. I did not experience any tightness on the neck as a few others have. For budget cosplay armor, It was worth the price.

Awesome product, arrived before due date. The armor looks amazing.
