Captain Leg Protection - Light Kit

Epic Armoury's Captain Leg Protection - Light Kit brings full leg coverage to Polyurea (PU), guarding the thigh and knee at a fraction of the steel original. This pair of leg plates follow the same logic as the forged version, with a knee that carries a ridged and riveted border and a pointed fan to turn blows away from the joint, all linked by riveted bands down the leg.

Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel look without the strain. Full grain leather straps with metal buckles secure each section, with a top strap that attaches to your belt and extra straps at the knee to lock it in place, and it pairs with the rest of the Captain range, including the Captain Cuirass, Pauldrons, Gorget, Arm Protection, and Belt Shields.

Features

• Molded in Polyurea (PU) for a dramatically lighter weight than the steel original
• Leg coverage across thigh and knee
• Knee plate with a ridged, riveted border and a pointed fan that deflects blows from the joint
• Belt-mounted top strap plus extra knee straps for a secure, locked-in fit
• Full grain leather strapping with metal buckles throughout
• Part of the Captain range, built to pair with the full Captain armor set
• The Captain Leg Protection - Light Kit comes as a pair

Fit, adjustment & care

• The strap system handles most sizing on its own, but for a closer fit, you can gently reshape the material itself using heat. Apply heat to the inside of the piece rather than the painted exterior, so the material becomes flexible without damaging the finish.
• Finish: The base material underneath the painted surface is black, so over time, scratches and general wear may reveal this black color underneath.
• Easy touch-ups: Minor cosmetic damage, such as scuffs or scratches can be simply repaired at home using a primer and acrylic hobby paints (such as Army Painter or Citadel).
• Leather care: The leather straps should be maintained like any other full-grain leather product, with occasional conditioning to keep them supple and long-lasting.
• A living finish: Wear and patina are a natural part of your armor's lifecycle and can be expected with regular use, adding to the authentic, battle-worn character of the piece.

A Polyurea (PU) reproduction of our mild steel Captain Belt Shields, giving you the same proud, sovereign silhouette at a fraction of the weight. Designed to hang over the outer thigh and protect the upper leg without restricting movement, it slides onto your belt using the full grain leather loops and adjusts for a comfortable fit. A final layer of protection that reads as blackened steel from across the field.

Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel look without the strain. The Light Kit pairs with the rest of the Captain range, including the Captain Cuirass, Captain Pauldrons, Captain Gorget, Captain Arm Protection, and Captain Leg Protection.

The Captain Pauldrons - Light Kit, a faithful Polyurea (PU) reproduction of our mild steel Captain Pauldrons, built for fighters and crews wanting and imposing look, without the imposing weight, of steel armor.

The construction follows authentic plate logic: a domed upper cop riveted to a flared collar plate, with articulated lower lames overlapping down the upper arm. The rivet pattern and lame lines mirror the steel original, finished in a matte blackened look. Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel silhouette without the strain.

Features

• Molded in Polyurea (PU) for a dramatically lighter weight than the steel original
• Authentic plate profile: domed cop, flared neck collar, and articulated lower lames
• Full grain leather strapping with a metal roller buckle
• Matte blackened finish that reads as steel from a distance
• Color: Epic Dark
• Sizing: S/M, L/XL and 2XL/3XL
• The pauldrons come in pairs

The Captain Cuirass (Light Kit) balances stout protection with an aristocratic look. It is built for leaders who need to command the field in style. We crafted this from high-density polyurea, which gives you the sharp, polished look of steel armor but at a fraction of the weight.

This cuirass carries the distinct, imperial design of the Captain series. It is a perfect centerpiece for officers or anyone playing a high-status character. Because it is made of durable polyurea, it will not rust or dent. You can forget about oiling or polishing it—this armor stays ready for the parade ground even after a long, muddy weekend.

Why it is worth adding to your kit

• Maintenance-free: It is rust-proof and dent-resistant. No oil or polish needed.
• Imperial Design: Features the premium, noble style that defines the Captain range.
• Built to pair: It works perfectly with the rest of the Captain Armour set, including your pauldrons and gorget.

Intimidation. It’s your main form of weaponry while facing the heroes, because it gives you full control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes.

Your Dark Drake Armour is as dark as your intentions, hardened by the evil magic your subjects provide. As you withdraw your sword, sizing up the quivering soldier who feels brave enough to stand against you, you begin to laugh. This will be a very brief fight--if you can even call it that. The little man looks barely strong enough to hold up his hammer.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Drake Upper Leg are tassets designed to protect the thigh and groin. The style is late medieval with rolled edged metal plates overlapping each other. Two sets of steel plates hang from the hips to cover the outer thighs. A third set of slimmer plates cover the groin area and provide some protection to the inner thighs. The set comes with a leather belt with suspenders to keep the piece in place. Each plate is treated with Epic Armoury’s Epic Dark Metal coat, which gives the armour a rugged, antique finish which matches its reptilian scale design.

The Dark Drake Upper Leg armour is designed to match Epic Armoury’s Dark Drake Armour, but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield

PLEASE NOTE: This is a fitted item and is only usable with "Torso Armour Merc" without modification.

Someone might say that you are a cruel person. The truth is that you aren’t cruel--but you certainly aren’t a hero, either. The Battle of Delle is not one for your homeland or for your own people, but the pay is good and the fighting even better.

Life as a mercenary has made you into a hardened and effective warrior, and while some call it ‘luck’ when your enemy’s sword slides off your Merc Armour, you call it strategy. After all, now your enemy’s heart is a wide open target.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Mercenary Tassets are reminiscent of the typical pikeman armour of the late medieval and renaissance era. The piece consists of three broad metal plates overlapping each other to provide laminate protection for the hips and upper thigh. The tassets leave the pelvis somewhat unprotected, and normally a cod-piece would be added to protect the groin area. The tassets are secured in place with leather cords.

The Mercenary Tassets are designed to match Epic Armoury’s Mercenary Armour, and are the only tassets not fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury metal products. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

You look upon your leading officer as he makes his way down the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on this veteran’s word, and you find yourself relieved not to shoulder such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Dark Warrior Armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, eager and afraid all at once.

The battle has begun.
