Classical antiquity; an age of myths and legends, gods and monsters where only the bravest heroes will survive! But it is not through feats of arms alone that they remain unscathed in battle, but by donning the finest of armours, forged by legendary smiths for the greatest warriors of the age!  

Let’s face it, when it comes to historical armour, few things offer greater protection than steel. The downsides of weight, inflexibility and the need for constant maintenance to protect against rust are more than offset by the superb protective qualities that it offers. However, in this day and age, unless you are on the re-enactment or SCA battlefield, you simply don’t need this level of protection that steel affords. The 21st century has seen many advances in plastic technology and these materials have now made their debut upon the world of historical armour!

To the eye, our range of polyurethane armours are near indistinguishable from their metallic counterparts. They are however much more comfortable to wear and can be worn for long periods of time without discomfort. Indeed, the flexible nature of this armour means that it can bend to the contours of your body in a way that rigid steel will not. Each part is typically a quarter of the weight of their steel equivalent, allowing for faster movement with less fatigue. Each piece is hand painted with a durable acrylic finish and is detailed to look as realistic as possible. The maintenance free finish will not rust like steel does and can be worn in all weathers. Adjustable leather straps and the flexible nature of the armour allow it to be comfortably worn by all but the largest of people.

Its versatile nature makes it perfect for a variety of uses such as LARP, Cosplay, Theatre, Medieval Banquets and Weddings.
