Warrior in full armor
DescriptionYou watch your leading officer advance through the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate, and the fate of your entire unit, depends on this veteran's word, and you feel relieved to no longer be burdened with such a heavy burden.
“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your warrior armor, double-checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers prepare for the charge. You draw back your weapon, anxious and scared at the same time.
The battle has begun.
DETAILS
This complete warrior armor set includes a warrior breastplate, backplate, shoulder guards, upper legs, arm guards, and leg guards from Epic Armoury to fully outfit your costume needs at a lower cost. Each piece of armor is crafted from mild steel with rolled edges and premium leather straps and fittings, designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment while keeping the wearer secure and comfortable. With regular care of your leather and metal armor, you can expect this armor set to last a long time!
Available in small, medium, large and extra-large.
Pectoral
A simple, low-fantasy piece of armor that protects the front of the torso and abdomen. The plate rests on the hips and has a V-shaped flange (or sword turner) that deflects blows away from the weak point where the torso and leg armor meet. Sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel, this riveted piece of steel has been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to elven and human knights in shining armor.
Backplate
A low-fantasy piece of armor that matches Epic Armory's Warrior Cuirass, which protects the back and spine. Sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel, this riveted piece of steel has been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to elven and human knights in shining armor. Along the bottom edge, the plate has a small ridge to deflect blows away from the lower body.
Shoulders
A set of two pauldrons with shoulder guards, pauldrons, and shoulder guards. The pauldrons have five grooved metal plates, or lames, overlapping each other to provide laminated protection to the upper arms. Shoulder guards (small, round, convex metal shields) attached to the pauldrons with leather laces add additional protection to the armpits. The pauldrons are secured with leather straps around the biceps and shoulder blade, connecting to the chest plate and back plate.
Upper legs
Armor designed to protect the thigh and groin. The style is late medieval, with overlapping rolled-edged metal plates. Two sets of steel plates hang from the hips to cover the outer thighs. A third set of thinner plates covers the groin area and provides some protection to the inner thighs. The set comes with a leather belt with suspenders to keep the piece in place.
Arm protection
A set of metal bracers designed to protect the forearms from damage. Rounded at the edges and decorated with shiny steel rivets, these bracers are designed to sit comfortably on the forearm, extending from the elbow and tapering at the wrists. Secure this armor with a premium leather strap below the elbow and another above the wrist.
Leg protection
A set of half-greaves designed to protect the shins. Rounded at the edges and decorated with shiny steel rivets, these half-greaves are designed to sit comfortably over the shins and allow room for the poleyns to cover the kneecaps. They reach from below the knee and narrow around the ankles, secured with premium leather straps below the knee and another above the ankles.

Maintenance
Epic Armory Metal Works products should be treated with acid-free wax or quality vegetable oil and kept in a dry place. Metal armor containing leather components requires separate leather care. Read the "Leather Straps and Accessories" section below for information on cleaning and maintaining leather with leather care products.
Degrease and prepare your armor for use
When you open your armor, you may be overwhelmed by the smell of grease and oil. The oil has been applied to protect your armor during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits and a dry cloth or paper towels to remove all the oil from the plate armor pieces. It's a little more difficult to remove all the oil from chain mail links, but it can be done the same way. Wipe off as much as you can with a dry cloth, and with the remaining oil, you can degrease the chain mail with mineral spirits or another solvent by spraying it on the links. You can also choose to completely submerge your chain mail in a degreasing product and use your hands to agitate the metal in the solution; this will completely remove all the oil and grease from your links. After removing the oil, be sure to dry the armor thoroughly. Bright, warm sunlight is excellent for drying your armor, but you can also use a hair dryer or heat gun to speed up the process. Be careful not to overheat any piece of leather when using a heat gun.
Cleaning
Moisture is the enemy of armor and chain mail. If your armor gets wet, it's important to dry it thoroughly as soon as possible. After handling, use, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the cleaned surface with a quality, acid-free vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the exposed metal. Let the wax dry for a couple of hours, then lightly buff it with a soft cloth.
Prevention and elimination of rust
Store your armor in a dry place and check it every two months for signs of rust. If you find any, remove it by gently rubbing the affected area with a mildly abrasive pad moistened with wax or quality acid-free vegetable oil. Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but should still be treated with oil and stored in a dry place.
Leather belts and accessories
Clean them by removing dirt with a stiff brush, then gently scrub with leather soap and a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to clean any soap residue, and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.
You should always condition leather after cleaning it, as the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax using a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or wax into the leather in circles. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping it with a final clean cloth to remove excess residue.
