This is an excellent gorget to wear, and I have really enjoyed using it on the field - it's by far the lightest, most flexible, most comfortable neck armor I've ever worn. That said, the closure mechanism is very stiff and borderline unworkable, especially if you have any sort of joint problems in your hands. It is difficult to put on and it is extremely difficult to take off. Looking at the product photos, mine may be defective as the bottom post is on the wrong side, but the issue stands that it is a struggle to remove after fighting. It's an excellent product when on, but the difficulty with putting it on and taking it off is a major drawback.

Well, the mechanism is quite simple and historically relevant. This mechanism for sure requires certain precision, but most users are doing well with it. Our simple guess is that the gorget might be slightly small for you or for the rest of the armor/under armor you wear, so if the front and back plates have an angle between them in a shoulder area it might lock the mechanism. Would be interested to see a video if possible, and also would you mind asking someone to take it off and see what happens, cause the other guess is that you simply lift it up when trying to unlock the way it locks the pin.

This gorget is so enchanting! It is so light that you can wear it around your neck without feeling cramped! Nevertheless, it looks strong. It sits low and close to the breastbone, which makes for a great shape! It's so light and flexible that I've forgotten it's still there several times when taking off my armor! I love it! I wear a light gambeson with a gorget, because otherwise, but only after a few hours, the leather strips on the inside, which form the attachment, press into the soft, unclothed skin of my neck. Do not misunderstand: The collar is INCREDIBLY comfortable! This collar is magnificent! It is so light that you will love wearing it, with never feeling to tightened! But it has a very strong appearance! It lays deep and tight on your sternum / breastbone for a beautiful ladylike silhouette. It is so light, several time I forgot to take it off while taking off my whole armor! It is so comfortable! I love it!

I have never known a gorget to be so flexible! The last one I had was designed for a man, too big for me, and so uncomfortable I was worried it would hurt my neck if I wore it for long, but this piece removes all those concerns. The neck joints move as one moves her neck while providing standard field plate protection. I've yet to wear it in combat, however the quality of the stainless steel should compensate for the gorget's being thinner than any other armour I have worn. As I have typical female endowments I intend to follow up with the cuirass in brassed spring steel as soon as I can afford it!
