Given the price, I wasn't expecting this to be a replica of costumes from "Spartacus" or "300," but you'd think you could put them on without breaking TWO straps.  I'd have to echo others in my agreement that the fit is also a bit 'wonky' - I bought them for a photo shoot, and even on the well-built model they slid around and didn't fit correctly.  I'd say to skip these and get another pair, but the other types/brands I tried were just as cheap.
