Nordic bracers

Steel provides some of the greatest protective qualities available when it comes to historical armour. However, it also comes with drawbacks such as weight, inflexibility, and the need for constant maintenance to prevent rust. Unless you are participating in re-enactments or SCA battlefields, steel's level of protection is not necessary in modern times. Epic Armoury introduces their Light Kit Edition Armours, made of Polyurethane to resemble authentic metallic armours, with weight, comfort, and practicality in mind. These armours are for those who want the appearance of metallic armours without sacrificing comfort. To the untrained eye, these polyurethane armours are challenging to distinguish from their metal counterparts. They are also more comfortable and can be worn for extended periods without discomfort. The flexible nature of the armour allows it to contour to your body in a way that rigid steel cannot. Each piece is typically a quarter of the weight of its steel equivalent, allowing for faster movement with less fatigue. The armour is hand-painted with a durable acrylic finish and detailed to appear realistic. The maintenance-free finish does not rust like steel and can be worn in any weather condition. Adjustable leather straps and the flexible nature of the armour provide comfort when worn. These Nordic Light Kit Bracers are inspired by Viking armour and feature Celtic-inspired ornamentation. This armour is suitable for occasions like LARP, Cosplay, Costume Parties or Theatre.

Maintenance

With proper care and attention, your purchase should last for many years.
Your armour is made from a polyurethane material that is very strong and will maintain its shape and form if looked after correctly.

Please be aware that although the armour is strong, it is designed to be used for costume purposes only and should not be used or relied upon for protection!

Do not leave out in the sun for long periods of time, as heat can make the polyurethane malleable to the touch.

CLEANING

Your item has been professionally finished with durable paint and polish. Inevitably, as with any painted surface, you will get scratches and wear and tear over time.
For surface soiling we recommend washing with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding leather straps.
Do NOT use any solvent-based cleaners or insect sprays on or near the armour.
Leather straps can be polished with normal shoe polish but avoid getting polish onto the armour surface.

STORAGE

Breastplates and backplates should be strapped together and ideally hung on a coat hanger or similar hanging system. Shoulders also are best stored on hangers.
Helmets should ideally be placed on a stand so that any protruding features such as nasals and ear flaps are hanging free. We have helmet stands available in our online shop if needed.
We recommend that leg armour and braces are strapped around something cylindrical when not in use; drainpipes and drinks bottles could be used for example.
Do NOT store armour on or near to a heat source as this can cause warping.
