Soldier Belt Shields

Epic Armoury’s Soldier Belt Shields are two plates designed to protect the thighs. These rolled edge steel plates hang from your own belt to cover the outer thighs, sliding into place using brown leather loops securely fastened with rivets. Each plate is 25 cm long and 21 cm wide, with two 24 cm folded leather loops.

The Soldier Belt Shields armor features a curved edge and overlapping welded plates, influenced by the look of classic tassets that can be paired with a multitude of styles. This armor does not require assistance to equip, because it is very easy to put on and take off. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and vegetable tanned 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.

• Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors

History
