Undercap

Oh no, you think, as they thrust a sword and helmet into your calloused farm hands. You've never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!

But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors with your helmet secured over a padded cap. You wait for the advance of the orc raid heading for your farms and town, and you just hope that somehow you'll make it. At least your helmet feels solid on your head. That's something to be thankful for, at least... right?

DETAILS

The Epic Armoury Undercap is a padded hood that fits comfortably over the head and ears. Made of quilted cotton canvas lined with a soft polyester interior and a medium cotton outer layer, this padding can be worn alone or as padding under a heavy steel or leather helmet.

The Undercap is sewn to ensure the padding remains evenly spaced. Secure it to your head by tying the cotton cords under your chin. With its neutral style, the Undercap will work on a wide variety of characters. Combine it with other Epic Armory armor and apparel to suit your unique style!

Available in Desert Beige and Epic Black, and in one size.
