DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Krom Shield is an 95 cm round latex shield inspired by early pre-10th century vikings and Saxons. With a wooden texture and wood and iron paint finish, this shield is sure to impress your fellow warriors on the battlefield paired with a Viking Axe.

HISTORY

• Iron rim was sometimes used as a way to reinforce the shield
• Used the Shield Boss–the round, convex piece of material at the centre of the shield–to deflect blows
• Round wooden style was predominantly used in the early European Middle Ages using light, non-splintering wood such as linden, fir, alder or poplar

Quality

• Strong latex coating on hard EVA foam, which does not flex in combat
• Made from durable closed cell foam that does not shred
• Handle is made of EVA foam and soft leather for a firm grip
• High safety, approved by the top organizations

Maintenance

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the LARP Accessories section. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel–NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
