The shield arrived VERY quickly and looks wonderful. The feel is very balanced, and the cover was a beautiful forest green. I will definitely be ordering again!

This does exactly what I need and thats protect my shoulders. My only issue is that I’m left handed and the way the straps are makes the placement a bit akward on my right arm but, with a little alteration it was fixed.
