These Gothic-inspired leg defenses are designed to protect the upper leg and knee during full-contact medieval combat. Each leg guard features articulated poleyns, which are reinforced plates covering the knee—historically developed to protect this critical joint from direct blows and glancing strikes.
The multi-plate construction improves mobility, allowing the wearer to walk, kneel and move naturally while staying protected. Riveted overlaps and flared edges help deflect impacts and reduce the chance of injury.

Three strong leather straps with hand-forged steel buckles ensure reliable fastening over gambeson trousers or padded leg wraps. The polished steel finish not only looks authentic but also helps resist corrosion when properly maintained.
This style of leg armor was popular among late medieval knights and Gothic plate harness wearers. Whether you’re preparing for historical acts, tournaments, or creating an impressive display, these leg guards provide the combination of authentic design, functionality and durable craftsmanship.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• After use, dry the armor thoroughly.
• Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
• Store in a moisture-free environment.
• Clean only with a soft cloth—avoid harsh abrasives.⭐
