Not sure that the robe you are eyeing is exactly what you are looking for? No worries! You can sample the Armor Appearance Kits in designated trial zones prior to purchasing a permanent application.

The first Armor Appearance Kits are now available! Each set will have variations, color options, and each color option has unique accessories attached.
