Directly inspired by 14th-century and early 15th-century sources, these historical splint leg harnesses use the classic technique typical of the brigandine/coat-of-plate set to create a unique leg armour offering good protection and mobility. Well-designed by our skilled artisans from 3-3.2mm thick GENUINE LEATHER and STURDY 16 gauge MILD STEEL REINFORCING PLATES, it combines the best of the two worlds. They are FULLY FUNCTIONAL and are well suited for real-life combat or tournament. The set includes cuisses+ poleyns + grevaes and is easy to lace onto a pourpoint or gambeson. These run in ONE SIZE THAT FITS MOST. Note: The steel plates on the structure are 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.
