Upper Legs

Upper Leg Protection – Armor That Moves With You

Guard Your Legs, Stay Agile, and Fight with Confidence

The upper legs are one of the most vulnerable areas in battle—whether you're charging into the fray, holding the shield wall, or preparing for an archery duel. A well-placed strike can bring down even the strongest warrior, which is why tassets, cuisses, and faulds have been essential armor components for centuries.

Epic Armoury offers a range of historical and fantasy-inspired upper leg protection, designed to keep you safe while ensuring mobility. Whether you prefer the unyielding defense of steel, the flexibility of leather, or the lightweight durability of PU, our selection is crafted for battle-ready durability and striking aesthetics.

From ornate fantasy sets to rugged medieval designs, our tassets, belt shields, and upper leg armor help you fight without fear and look the part.

Tassets – Essential Protection for Warriors of Every Era

Worn at the waist or attached to breastplates, tassets are designed to shield the upper legs without restricting movement. Historically, they were a key part of plate armor suits, but today, they’re just as important in LARP, reenactment, and fantasy battles.

✔ Covers the upper legs without restricting movement – Strike fast and stay protected.
✔ Attaches easily to a belt or cuirass – Versatile fit for different armor setups.
✔ Available in steel, leather, and PU – Choose the material that fits your playstyle.

Types of Tassets We Offer

Steel Tassets – The Warrior’s Choice

For those who want true battlefield protection, steel tassets offer maximum defense against strikes, arrows, and wild blows. Crafted from high-quality steel, these tassets are perfect for knights, mercenaries, and heavy infantry.

✔ Historically inspired designs – Fits medieval, Renaissance, and fantasy warriors.
✔ Excellent durability – Built to withstand full-contact combat.
✔ Polished, blackened, or battle-worn finishes – Match your armor set perfectly.

Leather Tassets – Flexible & Lightweight

If speed and agility are your strengths, leather tassets provide solid protection while allowing for unrestricted movement. Worn by rangers, scouts, and lightly armored warriors, these are a great balance of mobility and defense.

✔ Lighter than steel – Perfect for fast-moving fighters.
✔ Flexible fit – Adjusts easily for comfort and movement.
✔ Fits historical and fantasy styles – Worn by rogues, elves, and warriors alike.

PU Tassets – Lightweight, Durable, and Weather-Resistant

For LARP warriors who want armor that looks like steel but moves like leather, PU (polyurethane) tassets are a game-changer. They offer the appearance of metal without the weight, making them ideal for long battles and extended roleplay events.

✔ Weather-resistant and low-maintenance – No rust, no polishing required.
✔ Lightweight design – Stay in costume comfortably for hours.
✔ Perfect for fantasy and high-mobility characters – Great for elves, spellcasters, and adventurers.

Beyond Tassets – Other Upper Leg Protection

✔ Includes both thigh guards (cuisses) and knee protection (poleyns).
✔ Best for heavy armored warriors and historical reenactment.
