Modern Cover-ups

[Tadhg]

Hello all,

I am new and have some questions about armouring. I know the rules say that modern sports equipment is not allowed/penalized. However, my question is about covering it up. If I cover sports padding to look like leathers or hides/furs would that be approved and appropriate to use?

I am planning on make it to my first event in the spring and try to use what I have and make while working with a limited budget. Any input would would be great.

Thanks,

Tadhg
