Enclosed Leg Protection – Polished Steel

Descrizione

Enclosed Leg Protection – Polished Steel

Epic Armoury’s Enclosed Leg Protection is an essential for any person wanting to protect the legs while on a chaotic battlefield. This pair of greaves features poleyns covering the knees and full greaves designed to protect the shins and calves from damage. Rolled edges and small ridges around the rim further protect the kneecap, making it less likely that you will take a pesky arrow to the knee, thus increasing your adventuring days.

Two leather straps are used to keep each of the greaves in place. Made of 1 mm mild steel and full-grain leather straps and fittings, these armor pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

History

• Plate armor became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
