Very few things offer greater protective qualities than steel, when it comes to historical armor. But with steel also comes disadvantages like weight, inflexibility and the need for constant maintenance to protect against rust. Nevertheless, in this day and age, unless you are on the re-enactment or SCA battlefield, you simply don’t need the level of protection that steel affords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe here at \u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\"\u003eEpic Armoury\u003c\/span\u003e would like to present our \u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\"\u003eLight Kit\u003c\/span\u003e Edition Armours. \u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\"\u003eLight Kit\u003c\/span\u003e Armours are armors made out of polyurea, meant to resemble authentic metallic armors. Created with weight, comfort and utility in mind, \u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\"\u003eLight Kit\u003c\/span\u003e edition armors are for those people, who want to look like they are wearing authentic metallic armors while being comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the untrained eye, these polyurea armors are difficult to distinguish from their metallic counterparts. They are, however, more comfortable to wear and can be worn for long periods of time without discomfort. Indeed, the flexible nature of this armor means that it can bend to the contours of your body in a way that rigid steel will not. Each part is typically a quarter of the weight of their steel equivalent, allowing for faster movement with less fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Spartan \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLight Kit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePauldrons are inspired by Ancient Greek body idealized armor and Hoplite soldiers. \u003c\/span\u003eThey are hand-painted with a durable acrylic finish and are detailed to look as realistic as possible. Pauldrons are designed to look like bronze, making them a great choice for those looking for armor in a less common color.
