Disclaimers: I have not bought from them. I am by no means an armor expert. I am only offering my opinion.


Just looking at the pictures on the website I don't like it. I have never purchased from them, and I would not.

A lot of the peices look... funky. Even to my very untrained eye, I do not like the lines/shape on most of the stuff.

The prices are very low. A lot of it looks like the stuff you can get off ebay tho, and it's usualy listed there for a bout half of what they want. This suggests to me that they use the same cheap indian imports as the guys on e-bay.

Over all I do not think you would be particularly happy with anything they had to offer.
It looked better in my head....
Damnit.

Are they from India?

Most of them just look "off" to me... The proportions I mean.

Like if you size a pic longer, in the vertical only.

I hate to say anything bad about anyone's armour but this is just my opinion.
I don't think I even said anything bad about the Evil Denizen Overlord's armour.

So ya get what ya pay for.
