Gothic leg guards, 1.2 mm steel, pair

Diechlings and knee strikes



This fully articulated, wearable replica of a late medieval leg plate armour is made from 1.2 mm (18 gauge) steel and blackened on the inside for better protection against corrosion. It protects the thighs to about halfway down the lower legs and has the multi-layered design typical of late medieval Gothic plate armour (15th and 16th centuries).



The braces consist of a knee hump (also called a knee truss ), a diechling and a short leg splint. The necessary mobility is provided by a carriage, on which the individual pushed elements are connected to each other by means of strong steel rivets.

Three adjustable leather straps of approximately 2 mm thickness with brass buckles are riveted to the back. This means that individual size adjustment can easily be made.



The edges are decorated with grooves and small steel rivets, and the knee pads are equipped with flower-shaped, slightly inwardly curved steel discs riveted to the sides (see also our floating discs - item no. 1016634200).



These articulated greaves are ideal for late medieval and renaissance settings. They are equally suitable for portraying a variety of historical figures and fictional or fantasy characters and will make your transformation into a proud and noble knight or warrior simply perfect, regardless of whether it is for a medieval reenactment, larp, ​​theatre, tv/film, costume or cosplay.



It's a pair, so there is protection for both legs.
