Well, I finally got to wear these in a game. I waited almost a month so the ModPodge could cure hard enough. People, these were 1000x's their weight in GOLD. They were soft and supple to wear, weren't binding or uncomfortable in any manner. I took shots to the Braces in 2 games and the finish didn't crack (as I thought it might) and the oily paint wiped right off with a damp cloth. The Greaves took a tougher beating in that there are briar/thorn hazards all over the field, as well as my kneeling behind bunkers and barriers. They got muddied and a, the finish remained intact.

Here are pics while in-play....
