The large knee cops are riveted with thights using wide leather straps for strength and flexibility, while reinforced side plates add stability against lateral impacts. The floating knee plate is designed specifically to eliminate the common weak point between knee and shin armor in mass battles.

Covered with durable wool and linen canvas, these cuisses are customizable in color to match your armor. The upper section includes a strong leather arming point with pre-punched holes, making it quick to lace securely to your lendenier.
