Soldier belt shield

There is a price to pay for armor. Armor protects your precious body, the only one, but it comes with a heavy weight and a high material cost. No normal person can afford the blacksmith when they want a full plate suit. Fortunately, although your pocket is not deep, your skills are many.

You carry your minimal soldier belt shields when you fight, because they don't weigh you down. You're faster than your opponents... but also not so dumb as to go into a fight completely unprotected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Soldier Belt Shields are two plates designed to protect the thighs. These rolled edge steel plates hang from their own belt to cover the outside of the thighs, sliding into place using brown leather loops securely fastened with rivets. Each plate measures 25cm long and 21cm wide, with two 24cm folded leather belt loops.

The Soldier Belt Shields armour features a curved edge and overlapping welded plates, influenced by the look of classic tassets which can be paired with a multitude of styles. This armour requires no assistance to equip as it is very easy to put on and take off. Made from 1mm thick galvanised mild steel and top grain leather straps and fittings, this piece of armour is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular care of leather and metal armour.

Available in polished steel and Epic Dark
