This kit combines Basic Plate Arms with 5-segmented pauldrons. Together, they protect the forearms, elbows, upper arms, shoulders, and upper side gaps. As a result, you get better coverage when hits come from the side, from above, or from behind.
We use hardened spring steel 65G for both parts of the kit. The arms use 1 mm (0.04 in) steel with reinforced 1.2 mm (0.05 in) elbows. Also, the pauldrons use 1 mm (0.04 in) steel with a stronger 1.2 mm (0.05 in) main segment.
The extended elbow design helps close the gap between the vambrace and biceps. This matters in real buhurt because side hits often land exactly there during grappling and chaotic mass battles.
The 5-segmented pauldrons move with your shoulders instead of locking them down. So, you can raise your arms, work with a shield, clinch, and recover after a fall with less restriction.
Overall, this set gives you solid upper-body coverage without killing mobility. It works well for beginners building a first serious kit and for experienced fighters who need durable protection for regular training.

Both are beautifully made with a great balance points, allowing for fast responsive movements.
They fit like a second skin. Would always recommend them to my mates. 👍
Exactly what I ordered. The padded set fits gloriously. Floating is a bit of an adjustment, and even though I lost quite a bit of weight between ordering and receiving, the whole set still fits wonderfully! Zero complaints and would absolutely order again.
sword is beautiful and worth every penny
Solid weight and build for both, rather well forged, and arrived several weeks ahead of schedule!
