Gothic Leg Protection
Epic Armoury's Gothic Leg Protection combines cuisses for the lower thighs, articulated poleyns over the knees, and half demi-greaves shielding the upper shins and sides of the calves. The poleyn knee cups are articulated from four overlaying plates and fitted with a projecting heart-shaped plate that covers the often under-protected hamstring. Full grain leather straps tie the piece to the wearer's belt and hold it in place with guiding straps around the thighs and calves.
Made from mild steel with rolled edges forming ridges around the rims, the Gothic Leg Protection draws historically on the Renaissance, though its style and functionality are fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armors -- giving you freedom to mix pieces and customize your character's look.
History
- Gothic style historically developed in the 1420-1440s thanks to technological advances
- Characterized by the curves, flutes and ridges, which strengthened the armor and deflected projectiles
