DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ranger Sword is a 85 cm medium latex-hybrid sword inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The crossguard features an intricate curved design that protects a leather-like grip. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the golden “scent stopper” pommel, is ergonomic in your hand.

Whether you are an elven scout or a rugged ranger, this Ranger Sword is one of our highest quality products due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a “Knightly sword” or “arming sword”
• Designed so that the center of mass was closer to the hilt, improving its maneuverability
• Typically used with a shield or buckler
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century

You’ve tried so many types of armour, but none ever seemed to work for you. Your torso was too big or too small; or you couldn’t bend or there wasn’t enough protection. That is until the blacksmith finally made you the Scouts Torso Armour.

This armour is perfect. It still offers solid metal protection to your heart and spine, and you are able to bend and stoop while scouting--an important element when attempting to hide from enemies. You only wish you’d found it sooner!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Scouts Torso Armour is a simple low-fantasy breastplate and backplate protecting the upper torso. The plates comes down to the waist, allowing for increased flexibility compared to a traditional breastplate. Both the front and back plates are made from 1 mm thick mild steel, and are secured with top-grain leather straps at the shoulders and around the ribs.

Sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel, this steel riveted piece has been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to the knights in shining armour. The Scouts Torso Armour is neutral in style. Wear it alone or with shoulderguards and a helmet of your choice--we definitely recommend a gambeson! We also offer this style in several sizes to help accommodate different body types, and it’s built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Historically designed with a rounded shape to disperse the force of attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
