Noble Leather Poleyns Epic Armoury’s 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 and 100% cotton velvet, these armor pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather care.
