Another variation on the lone practice (Corbridge A)<br>
<br>
With the back laces and buckle fastened; front opening towards you, grab the top left inner shoulder plate with your left hand, cross right hand over left to steady the and swing around to your left and over your head, to end up with both arms above your head, otstretched, supportong the underside of the relaveant inner mid shoulder plates.<br>
<br>
Next shift your hands through the arm holes and grab the respective outer arm plates. then let go! make sure you tip your head forward and try to slow the descent of the lorica with you arms or you'll get some nice dents on the back of your head. The lorica may get snagged on your tunic, subarmalis or both, during these manoeuvres. Finally fasten up starting with the top buckle and tying from the top down.<br>
<br>
Ok it sounds a little complicated but it is a fairly natural manoeuvre when put into practice.<br>
<br>
When we don as a group, using the buddy system, we always get people to reach their arms staright out behind them then the lorica can be folded in half and paseed over their arms. Any other way seems to remove large ammounts of skin from at least one arm.<br>
<br>
Another hint; once you've got the loirca on and the top buckle fastened, grab the outer shoulder of the subarmalis and give it a tug whilst jumping, then repaet on the other side. This will straighten out everything under the lorica and make it confy.<br>
