Padded Greaves

Padded greaves

Reinhardt's legs ached. He'd been fighting foot soldiers all day, and his legs were covered in scrapes and bruises. Fortunately, his armor had held up, and the padded greaves underneath had absorbed the worst of the blows. As he removed his armor and padding, he took a deep breath and nearly gagged. He needed a shower because he smelled like a boar in heat right now.

Epic Armoury's Padded Squire's Greaves are made like a gambeson in that they feature thick padding beneath a layer of fabric designed to be worn as armor on its own or as padding beneath steel armor.

These greaves are thickly padded with cotton and covered with cotton fabric. A single herringbone-shaped cotton hanger, 2 cm long and 0.8 inches wide, threads through the eight eyelets and allows you to adjust the greaves around the lower leg to ensure a comfortable fit. Where it covers the top of the foot, it has been stitched to ensure it does not fold around the foot and instead covers it.
