If demi-gaunts are not enough and gauntlets are too much, equip yourself with something in between! The Epic Dark Bazubands make an effective and elegant compromise between freedom of movement and protection. Originating in Asia Minor during the 12th to 14th centuries, the bazuband makes the perfect arm armour for Persian and Indian warriors. The bazubands protect the backs of your hands, thumbs, and underarms. Strong steel plates provide plenty of defense, while chainmail connects the plates to ensure unbridled movement and additional protection. Made from galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather fittings, the Epic Dark Bazubands have adjustable ductile steel flanks that allow for a closer fit. The darkened finish looks great and is designed to help prevent oxidation. This arm armour comes as a pair.
Please be aware that these armour pieces do not include leather gloves. They are pictured above with our Suede Swordsman Gloves (MCI-2231), which can be purchased separately. As these items are handmade slight deviations in pattern, color, and shape may occur.
To properly maintain your steel armour, always keep the metal pieces away from water and lightly oiled to prevent rusting. Occasionally clean the armour with metal polish and re-oil them. Leather care products must be used to maintain the leather fittings as well.
