I think somebody mentioned a long time ago that bracers don't affect AC if
you're also wearing something else (shield perhaps? I forget). This is a
feature of AD&D rules (or so I heard).

So yeah, -5 bracers aren't that bad, esp if they carry other bonuses. I
used to have bracers with magic+1, and it didn't affect me at all when
they got corroded to -3.
