Merc Light Armour
Merc Light Armour
Epic Armoury’s Merc Light Armour is a cuirass made from leather and steel covering the front of the wearer's torso. The front of this breastplate circles the wearer’s neck, sloping around the rib cage to protect under the arms. The lower edge of the breastplate rests over the sternum, curved to protect bone while providing lots of flexibility for the waist. The steel plate is fitted onto brown leather straps, attached to a large steel ring behind the shoulder blades. This design allows for the most maneuverability on varied body shapes and torso lengths.
The Merc Light Armour is designed to be easily worn and removed. The shoulder straps are secured to the breastplate using sturdy steel pins, so no apprentice is required! Match this armor with other Epic Armoury metal products and customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain 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 Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors
- Available in sizes S/M and L/XL
History
- Plate armor became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
- Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
- A ‘mercenary’ is a person who is paid money to fight for a foreign army, and is often associated with behavior overly concerned with money rather than ethics
