The rivet pattern and lame lines mirror the steel original, finished in a matte blackened look. Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel silhouette without the strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMolded in Polyurea (PU) for a dramatically lighter weight than the steel original\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAuthentic plate profile: domed cop, flared neck collar, and articulated lower lames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull grain leather strapping with a metal roller buckle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMatte blackened finish that reads as steel from a distance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eColor: Epic Dark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSizing: S\/M, L\/XL and 2XL\/3XL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe pauldrons come in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFit, adjustment \u0026amp; care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe strap system handles most sizing on its own, but for a closer fit, you can gently reshape the material itself using heat.
