Built for the arena, not the wall. This front-opening medieval brigandine is forged from 18 gauge 4130 chromoly steel, hardened to 38 HRC for a perfect balance between strength and flexibility. Designed specifically for buhurt and full-contact medieval combat, it offers superior impact resistance while keeping weight manageable for long rounds. The front-opening design allows fast gearing-up and easy adjustments without sacrificing protection across the chest and abdomen. Each plate is securely riveted to a tough fabric base, distributing force evenly and reducing trauma from heavy blows. Engineered for fighters who demand real performance, this brigandine combines authentic medieval form with modern metallurgical precision—ready for tournament use, reenactment, or professional team combat.
