Shoulder Plates Giant Warrior

Epic Armoury’s Shoulder Plate Giant Warrior are a set of two shoulder guards designed to protect the shoulder joints and upper arm. This armor’s metal plates overlap one another to provide complete laminate protection. Overlaying the spaulders is a large pauldron, which provides additional protection to joints and armpits. Atop the pauldron a vertical plate sword breaker catches and deflects blows before they can impact the head. The sword breaker is slightly concave and somewhat higher at the back than the front, thus providing protection without impairing vision. Although the armor is designed to match Epic Armoury’s Warrior set, it is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armors in order to fully customize your character’s look.

Secure the Shoulder Plate Giant Warrior by tightening the top leather strap onto a breast- or neck-plate, adjusting so that the armor sits comfortably over the shoulder. Keep the armor from further moving by securing an additional top leather strap around the upper arm. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and full-grain leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

History

• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Plate armor became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
