Viking Arm Protection

Viking Arm Protection

Epic Armoury’s Viking Arm Protection is a set of vambraces inspired by ancient splint armor. At first glance, the Viking Arm Protection pieces may appear fragile, but don’t let that fool you! The vambraces can be worn over leather or clothing, and the vertical steel strips offer excellent protection of your forearms without hindering your mobility.

Three leather straps are used to keep each of the Viking Arm Protection vambraces in place. Made of 1 mm mild galvanized steel and leather straps and fittings, these armor pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

History
