A while ago, I posted about an armbinder that goes over the shoulders, open chest, but a bag around the arms in box-position. Well, I think, I did, however, it didn't really work. Now, I have ordered another one, which looked different, hoping, that it might be of more use, and it is. It looks like on the picture, except, I don't use the belt around arms and legs as on the second image. I got it here: https://www.amazon.de/Monohandschuh-Zwan...5&sr=8-100
I can put it on right out of the box, like this: Open the collar front zipper enough to get my head through, then close it again. Then get the shoulders into the shoulder parts. Now, there is a bag stretched between my shoulders and going down to near my elbows. I then get the left elbow in, followed by the right elbow, then the hands. The material is a bit stretchy, which makes it quite easy. Then wiggle the arms, until they are in a comfortable position, hands grabbing the opposite elbows. This is quite snug and comfortable, the arms are perfectly held in place. Of course, getting out is just as easy as getting in, so no real deal...
Next I tried to use a belt with a self-securing buckle, to pull the inside rim of the bag up, making it harder or even impossible to get the arms out, when it is tight. At first, I wrapped the belt around my shoulders, backpack-style, and fed it through the lacing on the inside of the bag - see my drawing, there is a lacing going from the back of the neck down the entire bag. This might work, but the belt was too short and I had to get another idea.
The working idea is illustrated in my drawing below. I fed the belt through the end of the lacing and stepped through, when I put on the armbinder, the end of the belt attached to a door handle. When the arms were in position and everything felt in place, I ducked under the belt to get it around the back of my neck (the drawing shows the front of the armbinder, which is against my back). Then I tightened the belt by stepping away from the door. And this was quite effective! The belt didn't pull the lower rim up as much as I hoped for, but it pushed the bag against my back and so the arms were trapped between the bag, my back and the belt. It was quite a struggle, to get out again. Eventually, I had one arm out and it took me about another minute or so, to losen the belt (the buckle works like the "ring device").
Almost forgot: The quality is low, cheap zipper, very thin lacing. But the material is soft and smells like PU (raincoat material).
I hope, this post is clear enough. If not, ask. I am not sure, if I can take photos...
