Apex Basic Plate Arms for Buhurt

Apex Basic Plate Arms give you reliable arm protection for buhurt, mass battles, and armored combat training. The design follows late 14th-century armor style, around 1380–1400, but we build it for modern fighting.

TL;DR

• Basic plate arms for buhurt and armored combat
• Historical style: 1380–1400
• Hardened spring steel 65G
• Main thickness: 1 mm (0.04 in)
• Elbow thickness: 1.2 mm (0.05 in)
• Weight: 3210 g (3.21 kg / 7.08 lb) for XL size
• Extended elbows help cover weak gaps
• Good mobility for grappling, blocking, and weapon control

We use hardened spring steel 65G for strong, simple, and practical protection. Also, we reinforce the elbows to 1.2 mm (0.05 in), because this area takes heavy hits in close combat.

The vambrace covers the forearm without blocking your grip. So, you can hold your weapon, push in the clinch, and get back up after a fall without fighting against your armor.

The rounded elbows help strikes slide away from the joint. As a result, your arm takes less direct impact during shield pressure, wall work, and messy exchanges.

We extend the elbow section to close the gap between the vambrace and steel biceps. This matters because side hits often land exactly there. Plus, three rivets hold the side elbow protection firmly in place.

The steel biceps plates protect the upper arm from hard shots. However, the lower cutout keeps your arm easy to bend. Therefore, you keep better mobility for wrestling, blocking, and close-range control.

Overall, Apex Basic Plate Arms offer solid coverage with practical mobility. They work well for a first serious armor kit or a durable mass battle setup.

Arms Protection FAQ

A

How should I take the measurements for my arms armor?

General Recommendations for Measurements for Arms Armor:

Clothing: Measurements should be taken wearing the gambeson you intend to wear with the armor. Sweaters or jackets will not accurately reflect the thickness of the gambeson and could lead to ill-fitting armor.

Bare Arms: If you are ordering both arms and padding together, measuring your bare arms is acceptable. However, please clearly indicate on the measurement sheet that the measurements are for bare arms.

Measurements: Take all measurements with a flexible measuring tape, snug but not tight.

Additional Notes:

• If your gambeson has any unusual features that might affect the fit of the armor, please describe them in the notes section.
• For best results, have someone else take your measurements.
• Feel free to include any other measurements you think might be helpful, such as elbow circumference.

Required measurements:

A. Weight: Measure your weight in kilograms or pounds.

B. Height: Measure your full height from head to toe.

M. Wrist Circumference: Measure above the gambeson, not on top of any leather straps.

N. Forearm Circumference: Measure the fullest part of the forearm.

V. Bicep Circumference: Measure the fullest part of the bicep, slightly flexed.

W. Forearm Length: Measure from the wrist joint to the tip of the elbow.

T. Shoulder Length: Measure from the point where the shoulder meets the neck to the tip of the elbow.
