Faulds and Tassets

Faulds and Tassets

Epic Armoury’s Faulds and Tassets are designed to protect the waist, hip and upper thigh from attacks that might leave you off balance, wounded, and vulnerable while on the battlefield. Don’t be an easy target for archers and rogues! This armor limits your weak spots without limiting your mobility thanks to the articulation of its bottom plate. Secured with two adjustable canvas straps over the shoulders and a leather strap around the waist, these Faults and Tassets are designed to be comfortable for almost any size.

Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and full grain leather belt. Straps are made in canvas for easier adjustments and lighter weight. Plating are oxidation resistant coated armor pieces built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

• Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors

History
