for a closeup view of installed vambrace. Note that these are the ultra
stripped down, super simple vambrace which has no rolls, no hinges, no
straps, nothing that can break. Not just a simple cannon though.....the
flares enable you to pull you hand out without cutting the skin, and as
you can see, if it needs to made a bit wider at the wrist, well, it can
be pried out pretty easily. Again, excellent field
reparability.
They are supposed to be a bit short so that the gauntlet can cover the
wrist. One size fits most...if you are particularly skinny or
robust, well, let me know. They are normally made big enough to fit
over a padded sleeve.

If you prefer to have these vambraces with hinges, that is easy enough,
but it doubles the price! Specify colour of strap closure in that case.
