Scout Belt Shields - 2Q

You move quickly, navigating the treacherous terrain. The rains have washed out the roads and made traveling difficult, taking any trails and footprints along with it. On one hand this has made your job challenging as a scout, but it’s also slowed down any normal party traveling ahead.

Thanks to your simple and lightweight gear, including your Basic Belt Shields, you manage to spot trouble long before they could spot you. You’ll head back and tell your own group about the upcoming bandits.

 

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Basic Belt Shields are two plates designed to protect the thighs. These rolled edged steel plates hang from your own belt to cover the outer thighs, sliding into place using brown leather loops securely fastened with rivets. Each plate is 25cm long and 21cm wide, with two 24cm folded leather loops.

The Basic’s Belt Shield armour is designed to be simple, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume by pairing it with a multitude of styles. This armour also does not require assistance to equip, because it is very easy to put on and take off. Made of 1 mm thick galvanized mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

Available in Polished Steel
