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 one size, sold as a pair.

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”

Your look out upon your troops, staring into the faces of the soldiers who may never return. Their blood is on your hands already, and it is a responsibility you hold with a heavy, but resigned heart.

“We must fight,” you shout for them all to hear. You are a mighty figure with your armour and Fighter Sword, a symbol to strike confidence in these soldiers. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your troops ready themselves for the charge.

The battle has begun.

The Ready for Battle (RFB) range is a light-hitting range designed with children and light-touch LARPs in mind. 

It may not be suitable for medium-to-heavy hitting LARP games.
