just heard from Theron that these are the new ones.
Did they redesign them? I've heard mixed reviews of them when they first came out. Generally people said they were pretty good, particularly for the price. I heard some issues about functionality if they were intended for WMA use, but most people also said they looked great for garb.
If I didn't already own a set of Lewis Moore hourglass gauntlets, I'd almost definetly purchase a pair of these. I hope they eventually sell the matching breastplate as a stand-alone item instead of a piece of the full harness.
