Review of: Lorica Segmentata
I bought my Lorica from Museum Replicas 20+ years ago and it has stood the test of time. The steel is in great shape and all the leather straps are still like new. As far as I can tell, a very good copy of the Newstead type Lorica Segmentata of the late 1st century AD.

Review of: Brown Cotton Brigandine
I'd really consider this more of a "coat of plates" than a proper "brigandine" armor given the lack of overlapping plates. The gaps between plates, particularly over the breastbone, would make me consider this for protection in addition to a mail shirt or hauberk.

Review of: Lorica Segmentata
Well, it is substantial. The delivery box on my front porch was so heavy I had to wrestle it inside my house. Four heavy and tricky pieces inside the box. The instructions eventually said that I'd need a second pair of hands to assemble it, which turned out to be true. But it does look impressive on its stand in my living room on a wooden bench next to The Eagle armor I purchased a few years ago. I'm glad I got them both.
