Mercenary Light Chestguard 200527 200526

You step forward into the sunlight, your Merc Armour gleaming. Climbing a small hill to see what lies ahead, you discover that there is still a long journey ahead.

This is the price you pay for your freedom. Fight for whoever you want and for whatever cause you deem worthy; however, you never know what it means to have a place to rest your head. Instead, you travel, following money, trade, and war. But at least one thing is certain:

You are the famous mercenary Juno, and no one will ever own you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Polished Merc Light Armor is a cuirass made of leather and steel that covers the front of the wearer's torso. The front of this cuirass encircles the wearer's neck, sloping around the ribcage to protect it beneath the arms. The lower edge of the cuirass rests on the sternum, curved to protect the bone while providing plenty of flexibility for the waist. The steel plate is held in place by brown leather straps, attached to a large steel ring behind the shoulder blades. This design allows for the greatest maneuverability for various body shapes and torso lengths.

The Merc Light Armour is designed to be easily worn and removed. The shoulder straps attach to the cuirass with sturdy steel pins, so no apprentice required! Combine this armour with other metal products from Epic Armoury and personalise your character's costume. Made from 1mm thick mild steel and top grain leather straps and fittings, this piece of armour is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

Available in Small/Medium and Large/X-Large sizes; and in a Polished or Epic Dark finish.

HISTORY

• Plate armour became more popular as firearms technology became more prevalent during the 13th century.
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• A "mercenary" is a person who is paid money to fight for a foreign army, and is often associated with behavior that is overly concerned with money rather than ethics.
