Gothic Leg Protection Epic Armoury’s Gothic Leg Protection consists of cuisses to protect the lower thighs, articulated poleyns covering the knees, and half demi-greaves protecting the upper shins and sides of the calves. The poleyn knee cups are articulated, composed of four overlaying plates and fitted with a projecting heart-shaped plate adding cover to the notoriously under-protected hamstring. This armor piece is held up via full grain leather straps tied to the wearer’s belt and held in place via guiding straps around the thighs and calves. The Gothic Leg Protection is made from mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is historically inspired by the Renaissance, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armors, allowing freedom to combine armors and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs. History Gothic style historically developed in the 1420-1440s thanks to technological advances Characterized by the curves, flutes and ridges, which strengthened the armor and deflected projectiles Show more
