These Gothic-inspired leg guards are designed to protect the upper leg and knee during full-contact medieval combat. Each leg guard features articulated poleyns, reinforced plates that cover the knee, historically developed to protect this critical joint from direct blows and glancing blows.

The multi-plate construction improves mobility, allowing the user to walk, kneel, and move naturally while remaining protected. Riveted overlaps and flared edges help deflect impacts and reduce the risk of injury.

Three strong leather straps with hand-forged steel buckles ensure a reliable closure over gambeson trousers or padded leg loops. The polished steel finish not only looks authentic but also helps resist corrosion when properly maintained.

This style of leg armor was popular among late medieval knights and wearers of Gothic plate armor. Whether preparing for historical events, tournaments, or creating an impressive display, these leg guards provide a combination of authentic design, functionality, and durable craftsmanship.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• After use, dry the armor thoroughly.
• Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
• Store in a moisture-free environment.
• Clean only with a soft cloth; avoid harsh abrasives.⭐
