As you stand in the shieldwall, you're relieved to know that your round Viking shield won't be your only protection. Your sturdy lamellar armor will also guard you! And, with its adjustable skirt of lamellae, you feel well-protected against those nasty upward cuts that could slip past your shield. Soon, they will understand why you’re called the Lord of Battles! This lamellar skirt is intricately handcrafted from 20 gauge MILD STEEL, Visby style plates, assembled using genuine leather strings. The entire structure of this armour is fixed on robust leather, making it hard-wearing and easy to use. Just give it a try, and you will immediately know why it was so popular back then! Its total length is 29.4 cm with a total width of 40.2 cm. Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth. Note: Did you know that the first lamellar armors date back to antiquity, long before the Vikings even existed, and were still in use by the 14th century in Northern Europe? This exemplary piece is your ideal choice for all your Northern costume and LARP needs.
