RFB Bracers - Leather

Adjusting the armour tight over your gambeson, your fingers are a little shaky. It’s your first time leaving home on your own, and while you saved up your money to buy this Ready for Battle Bracers, you aren’t certain you’re ready for the adventuring life.

As you make your final adjustments, admiring how secure and sturdy your bracers feel, your mother fusses over your hair. She finally hands you a bag full of a packed lunch. Tearfully, she tells you not to die out there--to come home to their little cottage!--before you set out on the road.

DETAILS

These bestselling Ready For Battle Bracers are a set of armour pieces designed to protect the forearm against weapons and bowstrings. Made from a single piece of chrome-tanned leather and stitched to improve the structural stability and to prevent it from deforming when wet or worn, these bracers are an affordable solution to your costuming needs. Secure the bracers to the arms by lacing its split-leather cord tight through its rows of eyelets.

The Ready For Battle Bracers are a good starting point for a roleplaying career, as they are fully compatible with all Epic Armoury’s leather and metal armours. The style is simple, allowing the bracers to be used with almost any character or setting.

Available in Medium and Large.

HISTORY

• Unlike popular belief, arm protection was only called a “bracer” if it was meant to protect the forearm of an archer.
• Forearm protection not intended for an archer would have been called a “vambrace” or “forearm guard”

LET ME TELL YOU A WAR STORY, LADDIE…

Whether a novice or a veteran you rely on sturdy armour to protect you. Epic Armoury's RFB Veteran Bracers are elegant leather bracers designed to protect the forearms. The armour is constructed from chrome-tanned split leather and carefully stitched around the edges to create a simple yet aesthetic design. The armour is secured to the arm by sturdy leather straps and brass buckles.

 Hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep the armour from deforming with excessive wear, this arm-guard will withstand any LARP abuse, you might force on it. The bracers match our Veteran Armour and Greaves, but have a distinct, neutral style that will fit with almost any combination of costuming, when you craft your LARP kit for your next adventure.
