With a proper T-Y, and the ones that are not are legion online, the tube ends above your hips, so much like the bronze cuirasse the inflexible tube doesn't form such a handicap. I cinched my tube tight at the waist, which let the hips take most of the weight, so I could not easily rotate inside of it. Giannis's bronze looked to be even more easy to wear.
