About this item
This pair of splinted greaves are made up of 16-gauge steel bands riveted to a backing of sturdy leather straps. These backing straps are fitted with a steel buckle which allows them to be adjusted to fit around the shin. Simple, but efficient, this type of Armor was a lower cost option for the late medieval man-at-arms who needed stout armoured protection but could not afford the form-fitted contours of custom-crafted greaves. They may lack the elegance of well-crafted plate greaves, but these splinted greaves are not to be underestimated in the protection they provide. These are a great way for a warrior to protect their shins without adding a lot of extra weight to the legs. Use them to perfect a Renaissance Faire costume or for re-enactments.
