Splint Shoulders
Splint Shoulders
Epic Armoury’s Black Splint Shoulders are a set of two spaulders. The spaulders feature one solid metal plate with a contoured shape to turn and absorb strikes to the arm. The spaulders are fastened with leather straps around the biceps, as well as a cord at the shoulder which attaches to a breastplate or gambeson. Along the top of the shoulder they are embellished with a scalloped metal and black leather breaker.
The Splint Shoulders are striking in style and match exceptionally well with Epic Armoury’s Splint Bracers and Poleyns. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.
- Available in Epic Black, Emperor Red and Ranger Green colors
History
- Plate armor became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
- Typically worn over a gambeson for comfort and safety
- Atop the pauldron a vertical plate was called a sword breaker, and was designed to catch and deflect blows before they could impact the head
