Description

Introducing our basic floating legs – hardened steel leg protection for armored combat. This model is one of the most universal, tested, and trusted by fighters worldwide. In fact, leg protection may seem simple but is highly reliable and affordable.

It has been used by hundreds of fighters in various championships in the IMCF and HMB leagues, including the Battle of the Nations and IMCF World Championships.

Specifications:

  • Hardened spring steel 65 G
  • The tight thickness of 1 mm (1.2 mm by request)
  • Knee thickness of 1.5 mm
  • Greave thickness of 1 mm
  • Weight of set 7560 g (16.6 lbs) – for XL size with closed greaves

The basic floating legs consist:

The solid thighs provide optimal protection, as it is a challenge to break a solid piece of hardened steel. The side segments are attached to the thighs, providing coverage from side strikes. You can attach the legs to your belt using the wide strap with holes. The 3 leather straps help to keep a comfortable and secure fit.

Large poleyns offer excellent knee protection, with an added plate to prevent gaps in armor between the shin and knee. Poleyns overlap with the greave and steel thigh, providing added protection from strikes.

The size of the poleyns allows for the use of additional protection under it – like knee pads or medical braces.

The solid front of the greave can withstand hits from both one-handed and two-handed weapons. Two side segments provide coverage from various strikes, protecting the calf muscle. You can fasten the greaves around the legs with two leather straps, keeping it securely in place. Finally – a leather band below the shin’s protection ensures comfort and prevents interference during movement.

We created this model for fighters who needed universal protection for tournaments 1 on 1 and mass battles. It is a simple, reliable, and durable solution, perfect for world-class fighters and winners of the BotN and World Championships of the IMCF. Invest in our basic floating legs for optimum protection during your next armored combat battle.

 

Legs Armor FAQ


General Recommendations for Measurements for Legs Armor:

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

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

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

Additional Notes:

  • Take all measurements with padded chausses or similar under-the-legs armor and shoes on.
  • Ensure you or the person being measured is standing straight and relaxed with feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Use a flexible measuring tape for accurate circumference measurements.
  • Consider additional measurements if specific armor requires them (e.g., knee joint width, foot length).
  • This table provides a basic guide and adjustments might be necessary based on individual body shape and specific armor design.

Required measurements:

A. Weight: Measure your weight in kilograms or pounds without wearing any armor.

B. Height: Stand tall and measure the distance from the top of your head to the soles of your feet.

I. Maximal thigh circumference: Find the widest part of your thigh, usually just above mid-thigh. Wrap the tape measure snugly but not tight.

J. Thigh circumference above knee: Measure the circumference about 10 cm above your kneecap with the tape snug but not tight.

K. Calves: Measure the widest point around your calf muscle with the tape snug but not tight.

L. Ankle: Measure the narrowest part of your ankle just above the ankle bone with the tape snug but not tight.

AA. Hip to Knee: Stand with your leg relaxed. Locate the bony bump on the side of your hip bone (greater trochanter) and the center of your kneecap. Measure the distance between these points while keeping your leg straight.

Z. Knee to Ankle: Stand with your leg relaxed. Locate the center of your kneecap and the highest point of your ankle bone. Measure the distance between these points while keeping your leg straight.
