The first-scale armours date back to antiquity (long before the Vikings even existed). And not only through time, but scale armour protected soldiers and warriors from all around the world. Be it the Byzantine or Viking armour, overlapping scale construction was favoured by all kinds of such mighty warriors! Our reproduction is HANDCRAFTED from tough 20-gauge MILD STEEL scales riveted to a sturdy leather back, making it ideal for VIKING COSPLAY AND LARP. It fully covers the torso while remaining quite lightweight. It is available in three sizes: medium (chest 94-104cm), large (chest 105-115cm) and extra-large (chest 116-126cm) (Measure yourself WITH gambeson) and is highly adjustable thanks to its multiple genuine leather straps.
