RFB Viking Bracers

As one of the warriors of your Viking tribe, you travel frequently. It’s a hard life and one that is not kind to the weak. If you cannot keep up you will be left behind.

Your many travels require armour designed to last. You rely on such pieces as your RFB Viking Bracers to keep you going strong! Along with your sword, sturdy shoes and your skill, you expect that you may please the gods in many battles. You certainly have the warrior’s instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Viking Bracers are fancy leather bracers designed to protect the forearms. The armour is constructed from leather straps cut from chrome-tanned, split leather, and weaved together to create a beautiful design. The armour is secured to the arm by sturdy leather straps and brass buckles.

This armour is hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep the armour from deforming with excessive wear. This armour matches our Viking Armour and Greaves, but has a distinct, neutral style that will fit with almost any combination of costuming for your first adventure.

HISTORY

• Inspired by lamellar armour worn by the Vikings, which would have included small iron plates
• Historically, using only leather as armour is factually inconclusive--most Viking wore ordinary clothing and used a shield as protection
