Re: baskets hilts for the early period
Fight with hilts or baskets or gauntlets. IMO, any contrivance for safety for early period portrayals looks silly. Gauntlets and giant panda gloves or whatever all look just as bad as baskets. Use what you like, and don't worry about it. Nothing will look right to everyone, so do what you want, and...

Re: Not period, but very cool!
Sure, and next thing you know they're slapping these on a hyper alloy combat chassis hooked up to a computer system with a mad on for the human race. Why don't we just graft some cybernetic parts on to AI controlled monkeys infected with the rage virus while we're at it?

Re: 2011, Kits...Let's see them!
Yeah, my stuff wears like clothes... the weight is very evenly distributed.
However, my recommendation... wear it. A lot. Have your body get used to the weight, and how it changes your momentum and movement.
