    GDFB Milanese Upper Legs Picked these up as an entry level option for harness sparring and thought they looked pretty good for the price point. The picture above is most certainly a perfect model, the ones I received are not to that standard, they aren’t bad but the buckles and hinges are a bit wonky here and there (I needed to put a few stitches in each buckle to keep them from turning sideways when tightening) and the oil they were packaged in soaked deep into all the leather which has been a mess to deal with. They are heavy, much heavier than a proper pair would be but I had a professional armorer who trains with us take a look and he gave them the go ahead as far as being safe for combat use, but made it pretty clear they also weren’t going to provide the best mobility when compared to a custom set. All told I wouldn’t have been as happy if I had paid the MSRP but at Kult of Athena’s price point you wont come close to anything better.

    Not worth 195.95 dollars Once it arrived, the right leg’s middle buckle broke, due to incompetent glue, and flawed leather. The other side’s buckle is so small I have to wrap it around itself to keep it tight on my leg. Otherwise, the metal is of good quality, and it looks nice. It wraps around about half your leg. I’m around 5’10, and they’re a tad bit long, but by all mean usable. I believe I can jury rig my way to success with these upper leg guards. Also they smell funny because of the oil, but that’s fine. I won’t be returning these, but by no means do I recommend them. Whatsoever. Unless you’re so rich you can afford to purchase this as expensive toilet paper. 3 star rating, for looking good, and having good METAL Materials, but because the leather isn’t good, and the buckles suck, I can’t give this an amazing review. Thank you for your time, have a nice day.

    P.S. It’s not even all that heavy, You just get used to them.

    Milanese legs Decent legs… I do have some qualms with them…

    -in the primary photo, they are displayed turned, so that the buckle for the knee isn’t visible… the strap is riveted to the OUTSIDE of the knee. Ugly as hell. I’m going to move it to the inside where it should be , and fill the obvious hole with another rivet.
    -There’s straight up no strap or buckle for the demi-greaves (they’re there in the photo). Gotta grind those rivets and strap it myself.
    -The buckles themselves are pretty crappy. Gonna put my own on.

    Construction-wise… Solid build. Not bad.

    Too long I purchased these a few months ago to match the Milanese arms (also left a review). I believe the legs to be incredibly well priced, but they are very long and had some minor issues with how the articulated plates line up in a few spots. I’m 5’6″, and I was expecting these to be a bit oversized, but I’ll probably have to remove the upper plates entirely for them to fit without obliterating ye olde tender bits whilst moving (they’re also kind of heavy, although that’s expected from mild steel, and I’m getting used to it). Overall, very good price for what I purchased. Minor modifications needed. 4/5
