Noble Leather Poleyns

Noble Leather Poleyns

Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Noble Leather Poleyns are a pair of leather guards designed to protect the knees from pesky arrows. Molded and cut to provide the most protection to the entire knee, including the sides and the top of the shins, you can depend on this armor to keep you up on your feet. Overlapping plates provide comfort and flexibility, allowing great mobility on the battlefield. Perhaps most importantly, these polyenes also feature incredible details like scalloped leather and red velvet edging, as well as the cut-out designs.

Made of hard full-grain leather, these armor pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather care. Two leather straps are used to keep each of the Noble Poleyns in place. Brass eyelets along the shins and at the top of the poleyns can be used to attach to thigh and shin guards. Worn on their own or with an entire set of armor, these Noble Poleyns are sure to add some class to your costume.

• Available in Ox Brown & Epic Black, Ox Brown & Emperor Red and Ox Brown & Leprechaun Green colors
