Steel Body Armour

The chest is, without a doubt, the largest target on a body going into battle. Luckily, if you shopped at Medieval Armour beforehand, you'll already have an edge in the form of steel body armour. Fully protected by the steel cuirass or harness of your choice, you can advance into the enemy ranks without fear, knowing that your torso is well-protected by layers of steel armour. We offer a wide selection of fully functional body armour that is designed to not only keep you safe, but replicate the look and feel of various historic and medieval classes of warriors, ranging from Roman soldiers to classic knights in their shining plate armour. Our steel body armour comes in different shapes and forms, ranging from a typical steel breastplate or steel cuirass to the much-needed steel backplate, which when worn together wraps your torso in a complete layer of steel (or steel and leather, depending on the backplate chosen). Being made from steel, this is battle ready armour, making it perfect as both LARP armour (live action roleplay) and as SCA body armour. This steel armour comes in various different styles, ranging from classic medieval armour fit for any soldier to the gothic armour of later medieval knights, down to the classic Roman lorica segmentas that were favored by soldiers in the Roman Legion. Fully functional and incredibly detailed, the steel body armour you'll find here at Medieval Armour is just the protection you need when you're planning to walk onto the field of battle, whether you're doing so for a stated production, a grand LARP battle, or even a reenactment with live or blunted blades!

Steel Gorgets

At first glance, you might wonder why a steel gorget is necessary. But we assure you, the first time a blade slides off your helmet and bounces right off your functional gorget, you'll be sold on this neck armour. And even better, a good steel gorget isn't just added protection, but also a harness that allows you to heap even more protections upon your person. Once again, that equation is steel gorgets equal protection plus more protection. And that's always a good thing. At Medieval Armour, we offer a wide array of different gorgets and bevors, all of which are designed to fully protect your collar and neck, as well as part of your shoulders. These steel gorgets are more than just wicked collars to wear around your neck, though. Being fully functional gorgets, they are fantastic for SCA events as well as LARP battles. Our gorgets come in few different styles, ranging from gothic gorgets to elven gorgets, down even to knights gorgets and king gorgets that are perfect for the classic warrior from the medieval era. Why risk everything in battle when you can just wear a functional steel gorget from Medieval Armour and preempt any of the potential hazards that might come hurtling through the air towards your neck?

Steel Pauldrons

If you're going for the total package of a completely armed and armoured look, then you won't want to march into battle without wearing a good pair of medieval pauldrons. And of course, Medieval Armour is your number-one place to find all the steel pauldrons and steel spaulders you need to provide perfect protection to your shoulders and upper arms. Of course, upper arm armour like this doesn't just provide protection, but also an added level of impressive style that enhances any armoured look. As far as medieval armour goes, our pauldrons come in a few different designs, featuring a shining steel that's typically associated with knights pauldrons and gothic pauldrons, as well as the darkened steel pauldrons that typically go well with intimidating and dark warrior looks. Of course, being made from quality steel, these pieces of medieval armour are perfect for use as SCA pauldrons, where they will provide that much-needed added layer of defense. Some, thanks to their sword-breaker attachments, might even catch and ruin an opponent's blade, and that's always a good thing! They also make fantastic LARP pauldrons, where they'll give you a realistic, armoured look that will actually fend off and lessen the impact of padded or blunted weapons. It should be noted that some pauldrons do require a gorget or a cuirass to wear, so please read the description of your pauldron of choice carefully. Tie in a pair of steel spaulders or steel pauldrons to your armoured appearance, and you won't have to worry about errant strikes clipping your shoulder or taking your arm off (metaphorically speaking) ever again.

Our arm armour comes in a variety of different shapes and styles, ranging from the typical arm armour that was used in suits of knights armour to the more common protections that a typical medieval soldier might have worn. Each and every piece of armour you'll find here is steel armour, featuring either plates of shaped steel or lengths of steel to provide the best protection possible for your arms. Because many of these arm guards are made from sturdy steel, they are fantastic sets of SCA arm armour, being capable of taking a hit from and defending against a typical training weapon, either blunted or padded. We offer our functional arm armour in a variety of different styles that were prevalent during the medieval era, ranging from the jack chains that the infantry and the foot soldiers typically wore to the different styles of plate armour that knights wore, ranging from gothic armour of German knights to the Milanese armour Churburg armour of Italian make. Many, if not all, of these sets of steel arm armour make a great complement to virtually any medieval armour breastplate or harness, allowing these pieces to be mixed and matched into a variety of different armour sets. If you're looking to not only protect your arms, but do so with reliable and effective knights armour, then you've come to the right place, because Medieval Armour has all the sets of steel arm armour that you could possibly need.

Steel Arm Bracers

Sometimes a warrior doesn't want or need to cover himself in layers of thick, heavy steel. Sometimes, a bit of steel is all the protection you'll need. And for those situations, Medieval Armour offers a number of steel arm bracers, which are perfect for providing not only a touch of protection on the arms, right where you need it, but also a bit of authentic medieval style. We offer a range of steel bracers in a variety of styles, ranging from authentic medieval arm bracers modeled after pieces of medieval armour to impressive and stylish fantasy bracers that are drawn from the creative realm of fantasy and imagination. Being functional steel armour, these bracers are ideally suited as SCA arm bracers, where they'll stand up to the punishment that is typically delivered to any piece of armour on a regular basis. Of course, because of that strength, they're also a fantastic piece of LARP armour or reenactment armour, enhancing the look of any costume while providing a touch of protection, as well. With these arm bracers, you're not even really limited by era, as Roman arm bracers, knightly arm bracers, and even elven arm bracers all look fantastic with a wide assortment of different styles. Basically, you can take any of the steel arm bracers you'll find here at Medieval Armour and mix and match them with your favorite costumes and suits of armour, creating many looks that are great for show and for use.

Steel Gauntlets

For total hand protection, you need a pair of steel gauntlets from Medieval Armour. With these metal mitts, your hands will be almost impervious...and yet, because many of our medieval gauntlets are articulated, you'll also retain most (if not all) of your dexterity, allowing you to continue wielding your weapon with all the skill of a trained fighter. A good pair of steel gauntlets will take you far, while providing a classic touch of medieval armour that belongs on any medieval warrior or knight. Here, you'll find several sets of knight's gauntlets, some in gleaming steel, others embossed for detail, and others still blackened for intimidating effect. All of metal mitts featured here are articulated gauntlets, which ensure that whether they're actual mitten-style hands or fingered, you'll retain the use of your hand when you wear them. Each set is fully functional and makes for great SCA gauntlets, providing more than adequate hand protection when worn that's capable of turning away glancing blows with ease. For that reason, these pieces of medieval armour are also as effective as LARP armour as they are as reenactment armour. At Medieval Armour, you can find just the steel gauntlets that you need, whether you're looking for Italian Milanese gauntlets, classic knight's gauntlets, or even German gothic gauntlets.

Steel Thigh Armour

If you think that, after donning a cuirass, greaves, bracers, pauldrons, and a helmet, you're fully armoured, then think again! Your upper legs are still open to attack. Don't worry, though, because Medieval Armour offers the perfect remedy for that, in the form of our steel thigh armour, which can consists of cuisse, tassets, or even groin plates! Thigh armour comes in several different forms, although the most common form of thigh armour found here in this section is the tasset. This piece of functional leg armour consists of a waist belt that suspends overlapping armoured plates that defend the upper legs and waist from attack, providing a more than adequate level of upper leg protection. Thigh armor can also consist of other pieces of leg armour, though, including the cuisse, which is similar to greaves, but is instead worn on the upper leg and thigh. The steel tasset and the steel cuisse can even be combined, to provide protection from both downward attacks and the occasional upward strike from the ground! Being made from steel, this medieval armour is fully functional, which means it works wonders as a piece of SCA thigh armour, providing just the right level of defense that will help turn away stray blows and strikes from what could normally be a difficult area to defend. Because of that strength, these medieval cuisse armours and tasset belts are also fantastic LARP armours, making it much harder for a live action roleplay opponent to slip a blade past your steely defenses. Are you looking for leg protection but don't know where to start? Luckily, you've found the right place, as Medieval Armour has an assortment of steel thigh armour to work with, ranging from fitted steel cuisse to the ever-important and impressively defensive tasset belt.

Steel Full Leg Armour

Even a warrior that values mobility in combat has to evaluate the danger of leaving one's legs unprotected in battle. All it would take is one luck strike before that mobility is gone. That's why, at Medieval Armour, we offer a wide assortment of steel full leg armour, because even if leg protection slows you down, it's worth it to have the added defense. Our steel leg armour comes in a variety of different styles and consists of a variety of different pieces, just like actual medieval armour did, centuries ago. Virtually all of our medieval leg armour consists of a cuisse or thigh armour of some kind, providing protection to the upper leg. Most also extend down over the knee, protecting this important joint, before ending along the lower leg. As well as our full leg armour, which covers the whole leg, we also offer 3/4 leg armour, which covers most of the legs and requires only an added set of functional greaves to provide complete and total leg protection. As they are made completely from steel, these sets of medieval leg armour are also fully functional armour, making them an ideal set of SCA leg armour or LARP leg armour, providing all the protection your legs need to shrug off a blow from a padded or heavy foam weapon, while also preventing serious injury from a blow dealt by a blunted sword or training blade. If you're not one-hundred percent sure that your legs won't come under attack (and really, how could you be?) then a good set of steel full leg armour from Medieval Armour is just preventative planning at its best.

Steel Greaves

Just as bracers or gauntlets are important for protecting the hands and forearms, greaves are important for protecting the lower leg. And at Medieval Armour, you not only have a selection of functional steel greaves to choose from, but you also have a selection of incredible looking medieval greaves, which come in a wide assortment of different styles. They range from standard steel greaves to blackened steel greaves, to embossed greaves that feature simple design touches across their surface for a bit of minor aesthetic enhancement. They're also offered from a variety of different cultures and eras, ranging from the fantasy era of elven greaves and orcish greaves to the historic era of Spartan greaves and roman greaves. And that's not even counting all the warrior greaves we offer that are fit for virtually any medieval fighter, whether he (or she) be a knight, a soldier, a brigand, an archer, or anything else. Being steel armour, these sets of greaves all make for wonderful SCA greaves, as well as great LARP armour, providing a healthy dose of protection as well as an impressive touch that will make any costume or outfit look authentic and armoured. Are you worried about keeping your legs protected in your next fight? Then take a moment to browse through our steel greaves here at Medieval Armour, and once you find one that suits your need and your personal tastes, pick them up and put them on...and you'll no longer have to worry about a blade cutting your legs right out from under you.

Steel Sabatons

Sabatons are foot armour used throughout the Middle Ages and into the early Renaissance. Typically, sabatons were not worn by foot soldiers but instead protected the feet of mounted fighters. This foot armour would primarily defend the top and sides of the foot. At Medieval Armour, our steel sabatons are great for LARP and reenactment use. Our sabatons are typically sold as a pair and are made of hinged strips of steel with leather straps for flexibility while fighting. Most are designed to be worn over shoes or boots. For a comprehensive armoured look, you cannot forget the feet! Shop all our steel sabatons here.

These Steel Armour Packages are a great way to make putting together a full suit of armour easy and hassle-free.

Some of our armour sets, like our Black Ice Complete Armour Set and our Conquest Armour, include all the essential pieces you'll need to gear up and charge into battle, creating a full suit of armour that lacks only a padded under-layer and any clothing you might wish to wear underneath. Some sets include more than others, offering varying amounts of protection that range from total coverage to armouring just your chest and shoulders to armouring just your legs and arms. It all depends on what the armour set includes. These steel armour packages are fully functional, containing only battle ready armour that is designed to take a hit and keep on going.

Full Suits of Armour

Things get hectic on the field of battle...but that doesn't stop everyone from taking notice of a heavy warrior clad in a full suit of medieval plate armour. It just goes to show how impressive full suits of armour are. And like the suits of medieval armour from eras long-since passed, the suits of steel armour here at Medieval Armour are nothing if not incredibly impressive to behold. These full suits are armour, despite their various styles and differences, come in two distinctive types. Some are wearable, functional suits of armour, while others are impressive, standing suits of armour that are made purely for decoration. Many of our more ornate suits of medieval armour, such as those from Marto, are purely decoration pieces that will leave others in complete awe of its detailing. Other suits, though, are suits of functional armour that can be displayed when not in use, and later worn as knights armour when desired for protection or just for the look. And like the armour of ancient days, our suits of armour come in many different styles. Some are suits of embossed armour, featuring intricate displays and designs across its surface. Other suits of steel armour are modeled after the gothic armour that came out of Germany and the Milanese armour that came out of Northern Italy. If you're looking for a full suit of knights armour to stand up and display in your home or office, you'll find it here. And if you're looking for full suit of armour to show off as a display some days and wear as armor on others, then you'll find that right here, too, in this full suits of armour section of Medieval Armour.
