Quote: The Deepeeka bell cuirass (the Argos cuirass) that I saw years ago was enormous, not good at all. Sure, it will go on your body, but your arms won't be able to move because the chest is too wide, and you won't be able to bend because it goes down to your crotch or farther. I would avoid it.
Sorry, I really wish they had done better on these!

Matthew,
I know they made a steel one, and then a bronze version. I have weightlifter type build, (because I used to lift weights), and although I need to go back again and tone up, I have a 44"chest and a 38" waist.
I wear XL T-shirts. Is this still too small? One of my orignal concerns is they would make it too small. I ordered a Japaese armour last year. The Japanese company had to make the Do larger than normal and charged me extra. (This is OT, but for thse of you who do kenjitsu or kendo. Try it wearing sode, kote, kabuto, and the whole enchalada. It is a real learning expierience.)
Matt, I appreciate your input on the Argos, and it makes me question trying to order one, but if it might fit, given what I told you... Decisions... Decisions...
