Medieval Leg Armor Set – Cuisse, Poleyn & Greave , LARP, Stage & Display

Channel the martial spirit of medieval knights with this robust Medieval Leg Armor Set, featuring thigh-protecting cuisses, movable knee poleyns, and full-shin greaves. Crafted from 16‑gauge mild steel, it matches the strength standards of enthusiasts, offering superior protection without sacrificing mobility.

The poleyns are hinged and articulated, enabling free knee movement while maintaining defense—a design drawn from 14th–15th century Gothic plate armor used in tournaments and warfare. Cuisses shield the thighs, while the greaves protect the shins, designed as two plates joined with hinges or leather straps for close fit and flexibility.

This set offers battle-grade reliability, ideal for active HEMA sparring, or immersive stage combat. Its smooth steel finish resonates with historical authenticity.

Attachment of this Medieval Leg Armor Set is via heavy-duty leather straps and buckles, by top leather tabs and steel eyelets to integrate with arming belts or padding layers, making it stable even in fast or aggressive motion. Pre-drilled holes at the poleyn base allow optional lacing or linking with other armor layers for historical accuracy and secure fit.
