Body armor at Medieworld reflects the protective equipment used by warriors throughout medieval history, designed to defend the torso and vital organs during combat. In the Middle Ages, body armor was essential to a soldier’s survival, protecting his chest, back, neck, and shoulders from swords, spears, and blunt force weapons. Today, body armor remains essential for reenactment, LARP combat, stage performances, and historically accurate displays.

History, Use & Protection

Historically, body armor evolved from mail shirts and simple plates into more advanced plate armor as warfare progressed. Knights and soldiers relied on body armor to absorb and deflect direct blows with enough mobility for fighting on foot or horseback. Our body armor follows these historical principles, balancing protection, movement, and authentic medieval form.
