Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

Description

JW3A7100 (2)

Greaves “Tristan” are based on the medieval artifacts, but with intentional emphasis on the sports usage. Pay attention to the three movable elements on each greave: they allow to make the protected area bigger, preserving the joint movability. Also not all greaves provide heel protection, “Tristan” has a special segment for that.  Complete these greaves with sabatons and cuisses “Tristan”.

On the map of modern Europe for the first time ever greaves appeared in ancient Greek armor. Back at the time they were forged our of bronze and covered the shin and the knee from the front and both sides. The back of the shin remained uncovered. Similar steel construction was used by Roman mercenaries. In medieval times plate greaves appeared in the end of the 13th century in the cavalry armor, where thy were used with early knee caps. In the middle of the 14th century folding anatomic greaves appeared which covered the shin from all sides and were completed with sabatones. Such a shape stayed in use till they stopped using greaves.

The medieval infantry did not use greaves very often,  but in modern day sports shin protection is essential if the fight allows hits below the knee.
