Has anyone bought or used this style of medieval arm armor? -

Steel Mastery has a set here that's a little different than most medieval styles. I'm curious if it's as functional, if it's comfortable, etc...

This type of arm is seen in 14th century artwork. I make similar ones.
They function fantastic. the floating articulation moves better then most shell articulation.
You won't be disapointed with performance if you get those arms. And they're more historically based then most SCA armor.
Oh they also have the added advantage of being able to be resized for girth. You can pull the sides apart or push them together to fit different size people without messing up the articulation.
