KaS Hobbledress

Salid delivers on Christmas. And its 60% off, so get it quick!

Appearance

  Amazing, is the words I will use for this. Some of the best mesh clothing I've seen. Amazing detail, lots of options, colour hud, plenty of sizes, and is structured properly. When the mittens are on, you can see them layered and buckled in place to the dresses shoulders for example. And I'm 99% sure it uses materials to add a gloss effect without even needing Shine on.

  I recommend anyone on the base SL viewer, RLV or Firestorm (and any other viewer with recent updates to materials ready) get on the bandwagon, cause this looks its best with it. Motion adds a lot of course, which I can't show here, but still.

  Its Hud allows you to adjust a lot of options.Various covers, the mittens, the sleeves when mittens are off, pretty much everything it  could need.

  You have three skirts, short, knee and long. Two sleeves, long and short, and I think can go with none. Mittens as well. Its comes in six sizes, the base one in the box, and five (XXS-L) in boxes should you need to fine tune it more.

  The only bad part? The long skirt currently clips with her ballet boots, for those that like the idea of making your captive (or self) barely able to take a step with even more difficulty than just one or the other. No doubt this will be sorted soon.

  Whats more, the Short and knee length ones could be used as just a normal rubber dress, they look great alone, without RLV needed.

  I'll leave the pictures to show off the best parts, because I'm not sure I'm the best to describe them. So much so that I am putting four instead of my usual three. Top right shows the long dress, with mittens. Top left shows the knee with short sleeves, bottom right shows the short and long sleeves, and last one shows the back of the dress, the white areas are removabled.

Function

  The other important thing of course. This uses a similar touch system to the corset, a hidden box around your waist for ease of access. The first menu allows you to lock it, lock its current style (colour, etc), lock the AO, set a timer, etc. Everything you need to keep yourself or captive tottering around. The second is the owners menu, which is standard KaS fair. Add, emergency, and current if you have any.

  The next is mittens, for when you strap that extra layer over your arms (or the captives!). They allow five separate options for touching. Close touch, no world touch, others attachments, own attachments (bar dress), and self touch dress. Allows for some customising of your (subs) dexterity.

  Openings is a rather nice set of options. It lets you hide the undersuit in various areas. You can hide the torso, butt and legs, so yes you can have them fully covered in two layers of rubber, with their rear exposed for whatever evil things you wish to do.

  In the next menu, you adjust the hobble, the key part of the dress. You can turn on the walk AO, the walk type, which has three kinds, and a random option to change as you go. Slow Walk, which does what it says on the tin, and lastly Stand AO, for when stationary, which your probably will be a lot in this outfit.

  Lastly we come to options. You can adjust the chat command for the menu here (default is /7dress) for use when the following option Use Chat, is enabled. Its off by default. The ever important update button is there, for when Salid decides to make this thing even better. The reset option and the very handy auto-alpha system. Once enabled, and if you have the alphas from the marketplace in your RLV folder (see below), then you can alter the dress style with much less hassle, no alpha juggling needed.

My thoughts

  Right now, until the 29th I think it is, its 60% off. Buy it. Tell your friends to buy it. Tell strangers to buy it. This is the only hobble dress in SL currently worth owning. Do I need to say more? Its currently 335 linden.

KaS Neck Corset and Chastity belt

First review of 2012! KaS restraints, which will mean I've covered the entire store..

Neck Corset

Quality

First up, this is KaS. I really don't need to say it looks good, because lets face it, all KaS gear does. All it really needs is an option to hide the metal bar at the front  and maybe have an option to cover the mouth and it would be perfect.. At least to this reviewers opinion.

Liek all KaS gear, it comes with a lot of built in colours, with each section able to be done seperately (Main corset, border, lacing and metal) as wlel as a pattern option that gives it a small design around the dges, that can be a little hard to see.

Function

Lets start as normal, top left. Leash.. Unlike most, you can actually press this and have the leash go into your own hand. Then theres AnyLeash. This lets you leash yourself (or your captive) to anyone and anything in SL. To my knowledge, theres nothing it cannot leash to, though I'm nto sure how it works with mesh objects yet. Third option is leash lnegth, self explainitory.

Bottom left is lock, with the secone been posture. Posture adjusts how high up your head is forced by the neck corset, with normal been not too strict, and high been very. Lastly we have the options menu.

In here, we have a lto more things. Up the top is Update, then add owner. The neck corset can have 5 owners.. And once oen is added, I believe a lot of the options in this menu disapear. Be careful of that. Theres Rem. Owner after it, followed by resize and Hide. Hide is handy for wandering around without removing your (or your subs) restraint as always. You can set it to private or public use, which works well with the hide command as well.

Theres Gag mode, though saldy this does not make the corset lengthen up to cover yoru mouth. It adjust the chin covering to accomodate your mouth bee wide open. Can be set to off, on or auto. Lastly we have Coloring, self explainitory and Animate, which lets you access the the built in anims, and I think you can drop more in as well.

Chastity Belt

Quality

Moving onto the belt now. Its made of tight metal, with what looks to be a rubber border around the waist. Not much to say really, its tight, made of metal and its KaS, so its very highly detailed. You can adjust how glossy it is (Border/metal can be done seperatly or together) and both the border and metal of the belt can be recoloured.

Function

First theres lock, and leave/take key. Can be set to public or private use (private means the key is required for non-owners to use), a leash and some more leashing options. You can leash to a post, or have the belt get a chain to link it to other KaS objects. Lnegth is of course adjustable.

The next menu is Toys.. I think people can guess whats in here. VIbes can be shoved in, turned on and off as well as set to differant levels. theres also a strapon. You can also hide the belt here, or have the metal crotch covering removed or re-secured depending on your mood.
,
Back to the main menu. Next up is Inspect, which works with Sensations if you use their gear. Next is Give Tools, which gives out two leash holders (one ofr each hand) as well a leash post, a post script for making your own and a manual for the belt.

Next we have options. Theres a **help** option, fairly obvious. The color/shine menu, and update. Then theres the sound volume, which adjust how loud the vibrators get.. Followed by resize. Next is chat menu. This allows you to turn on a channel and command to access the belt without touching it. You can adjust which channel its set to, so only you and your owner knows it if you so desire.

You can allow or deny orgasms with the next option, presumably this works with Sensations again. Lastly there is underwear, a nice little option that makes out that the belt is now worn under your clothing. Very handy as it allows the belt to be left active with whatever nasty options are turned on, as opposed to Hide belt that removes everything.

KaS Hoodcollar

KaS is well known I believe. 5 differant restraints, all of the highest quality. Heres the hood.

This is easily my favorite hood in SL. Its look is excellent, been skintight while still been an actual prim as opposed to a skin. It has 22 differant colours, including ones especially designed to match PoC latex. It includes a ton of options such as gagging and blindfolding, transparency, a timer, leash, a titler and so on.

Its actual looks can be adjusted as well, allowing for the entire face to be open, face covered and the eyes and mouth each can be opened or closed as well. Both of these also have a perforation option, making a sort of mesh appear over the eyes or mouth. Also availble is an option called "pussy mouth".. I think you can guess what that is for, and the people who know me know why I avoid it. But these things aren't built specifically for me, so good to see it been open to a wide range of people.



For owners, this hood can have access to certain menus blocked, as well as an option to stop the sub wandering into regions or sims you don't want them visiting. Theres a hide setting, that lets you keep our hoods on without us wandering around with a smooth shiny finish the entire time. It can also be set to public if you want us poor subs to be vulnerable to everyone we encounter. For subs who feel too locked out, there is an emergancy key that lets you go in and free yourself if needed.

It also has a lot of animations built in, both for solo and for couples.

I'm trying to find something bad to say about this hood, but really.. I can't. Theres personal taste with the mouth option mentioend earlier, but its not down to just mine in the end. If you like hoods, this is THE one to get.
