Milanese Couter

Milanese Couter

Epic Armoury’s Milanese Couter is a low-fantasy set of armor designed to protect the elbows, including the sides and a portion of the arms, thwarting even the craftiest rogue. Its shape is intended to not only block blows, but to deflect them away safely. A curved shelf is riveted and welded along its edge, catching strikes that would otherwise slide onto the arms.

The Milanese Couter is one piece, constructed using mild steel. One full-grain leather strap is used to keep each of the couters in place. Conveniently placed eyelets can be used to attach the couter firmly to a gambeson or shirt. With regular leather and metal care you can expect this quality made armor to last for a long time!

• Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors
• Available in One Size
