FUNCTIONAL KNEE AND TIBIA PROTECTOR 201016

FUNCTIONAL KNEE AND TIBIA PROTECTOR

You look at your senior officer as he makes his way through the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit rests on this veteran's word, and you are relieved to no longer bear such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your closed leg guard, double-checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers prepare to charge. You draw your weapon, anxious and scared all at once.

The battle has begun.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's closed leg protection is essential for anyone who wants to protect their 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 harm. Rolled edges and small ridges around the edge further protect the kneecap, so you're less likely to take a pesky arrow to the knee, adding to your days of adventure.

Two leather straps are used to hold each of the greaves in place. Made from 1mm mild steel and top grain leather straps and fittings, these armour pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular care of the leather and metal armour.

Available in medium/large sizes.
