I ordered the green version of this arm harness, and I love it! I recently sewed arming points to my padded kaftan to suspend the harness properly to my body, because my skinny muscles would ordinarily cause it to slip down my arms. The flexibility is excellent, and for someone who never wore bazubands before, I was utterly amazed at the simple technology of vambraces that cover my elbows no matter if my arms are fully extended or retracted. I even wore these arms to an archery lesson, and they unsurprisingly protected my forearms from the bowstring; it was nice knowing I didn't have to purchase additional archery gear for that purpose. I definitely recommend this harness specifically with the hidden protection (elbow cups and rerebraces) so it abides by SCA and buhurt rules, and to protect the upper arms from really nasty shots that would take one out of the fight immediately. Lastly, I love how the riveted fabric adds both a brigandine aesthetic and rust protection to halve the amount of maintenance effort I'd need to put in.
