Legend Archery Reviews & Rankings

The Legend Armguard XT is the modern foam guard done well — thermoshaped EVA foam, vented for airflow, secured by adjustable straps with low-profile quick-release buckles, in three sizes and three colors. Unlike the one-size crowd, it actually comes small, medium, and large, so it fits a junior arm as well as an adult one. Light, breathable, and cleanly made, it's the target-and-beginner guard for someone who wants a proper size fit.

$16.5

The Everest 44 is the compromise case: a padded hybrid roller that's far lighter than a moulded shell at 17.6 lb, ships with a TSA combination lock already fitted, and wheels through an airport like a suitcase instead of a coffin. It won't take the abuse a Pelican will, and Legend backs it for one year rather than a lifetime — but for an archer who flies occasionally and drives often, it's a great deal more practical than either extreme.

The Everest 40 is the shorter sibling — 66 linear inches against the 44's 70, with the same padded hybrid build, integrated wheels and a TSA-style combination lock fitted. It suits a shorter-ATA hunting bow where the 44 is simply more case than you need. Legend doesn't publish a straight empty weight for it (the figure varies by configuration), and like the rest of the line it's backed for a year with no named transit standard.
