   This worked well for my costume – a gladiator. It is a smaller shield with a double handle on the inside but worked well for me (a woman). It was lightweight but sturdy. I actually hit the sword on some tree branches during a hay ride and it didn’t break and the paint did not chip. I like that I can slide the sword into the shield for storage.

   I got this as a kids toy. It’s about the right size for my 6-year-old. It probably is on the smallish side for an adult. Might be a little easier to hold if it also had a handle as well as the 2 straps. But, it doesn’t seem to slow him down. The design is great.I knew this wasn’t going to put up with all the abuse it would get (for the price anyway), but I was hoping it would fare a little better. The sword broke at the hilt after a month of use. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. But we duct taped it up and it’s working fine for our needs. The shield seems to be holding up quite well.UPDATE 3 months later: Got an unexpected replacement for the sword of this set from the company a couple weeks ago. Apparently there was a question as to whether there was too much lead in the sword (scary!). To the company’s credit, the just shipped out new ones that were safe to people that had ordered one.

   This product is smaller than I thought it would be, but looks great for the price! The sword moves easily in and out of the shield, and the straps help the shield stay on the arm well.

   This is a gift for my grandson, thus I have not taken It out of its packaging. It is very nice looking but somewhat smaller than I would like. Since I have not handled it, I cannot comment on the quality of the product. I’m hoping he will like it.

   Used for a Roman soldier in a Christmas play. The size was a little small
