First off, is it ONLY cardboard? As in no latex coating/paint? And second, under good weather conditions(I.E. No precipitation.) how well does it hold up to full contact fighting against latex weapons?

[TheCardboardKing]

Yes its cardboard only...padding can be inserted upon request and all of my items are strength test. Which means after I sew them together I throw them as hard as I can at the wall to make sure they are strong enough to b hit without breaking...I use a water based acryllic but I'm not against using sealer for damp environments. And if I don't use a sealer u can still wear them in a misty environment but not rain cuz after all it is cardboard and will wilt. I haven't used latex before btw

[russiasan]

Alright. Just asking.

[TheCardboardKing]

Any other questions? I can answer anything u may want to know

[russiasan]

Not Really. I have a rather good idea of what cardboard armor takes to make.

[TheCardboardKing]

Difficult isn't it....have. checked out my shop?

[BaronBlackRose]

To be honest. If I was looking for armour. I would be looking to more sturdier stuff then cardboard. No offense meant.

on the contrary...strength can be given to cardboard with layers and coatings of hardened sealer...which I have done before and holds up we'll to bare PVC beatings ( no padding on PVC) and why would u be taking strikes to the head anyway...should be against the rules isn't it?

That was kind of a knee jerk response on your part. I didn't say what you sell sucks or any of that. It is probably very awesome on a visual level. But as far as MY needs for combat and role playing goes. Cardboard is NOT on MY list for armour. So before you start a flame war with me. Better throttle your noise down a bit. Thank you for your time. Consider yourself ignored.

Woah.....I wasn't trying to b mean at all...ur comment just sounded like it would deter anybody from even considering my work...slow ur roll bro...I didn't mean any offense. I hope things can be copacetic between us...sorry if I came off as rude. I understand that different people have different needs armor wise and yes the majority of things I make are fully wearable but aesthetic....but I can make them padded and hardened for protection. I apologize for insulting you.
