Wide Steel Vambraces with Padding

Description of the Product

The mightiest warriors in history are frequently depicted with some form of arm guard, and they were probably in use well before these historical references. The materials have ranged from leather to bronze, to iron reinforced leather and to steel. When the head and hands were protected by armor, the lower arm was one of the prime targets in sword play. In many cases, vambraces were the only piece of armor worn, most often along with a mail shirt.

This pair of steel lower arm guards will go with a large range of period outfits and weapons. They are padded for extra comfort, and the fit is quite wide, so they are ideal to be worn over a gambeson. There are two leather straps on the inner arm for tightening the vambrace in place.
