Description

Floating Brigandine Legs

Full-leg brigandine protection built for real combat. The Floating Brigandine Legs set includes brigandine cuisses with floating knees and brigandine greaves, giving you full coverage from thigh to ankle. Designed for both buhurts and single combat, this universal model balances reliable protection with excellent mobility.

Specifications

  • Total weight (XL): 7.98 kg (17.6 lbs) hardened steel / 6.40 kg (14.1 lbs) titanium
  • Cuisses with knees: 5.27 kg (12 lbs) hardened steel / 4.35 kg (9.6 lbs) titanium
  • Greaves: 2.71 kg (5.97 lbs) hardened steel / 2.05 kg (4.51 lbs) titanium
  • Plate thickness: 1 mm (0.04 in) cuisses & greaves, 1.5 mm (0.06 in) knees, 1.2 mm (0.05 in) knee sides
  • Material: Hardened spring steel 65G or Titanium VT1-0
  • Knee construction: Always hardened steel, riveted with a wide leather strap
  • Cover: Wool outer layer with linen canvas inside
  • Attachment: Leather arming point with holes for lendenier lacing
  • Extra safety: Floating plates above and below the knees to cover armor gaps

Protection and Mobility

The brigandine construction uses many long overlapping plates riveted to a strong fabric base. As a result, your legs remain protected from all sides while allowing natural movement for running, grappling, and kneeling. In addition, the overlapping plates absorb strikes more effectively, helping them “hold the punch” in mass battles.

Reinforced Knee Design

The segment knee cops are reinforced with side petals and floating plates above and below. Therefore, they cover the common weak spots between thigh, knee, and shin armor. The riveted straps also ensure the knees stay in place even under pressure. Moreover, the greaves extend coverage down to the ankle bones with extra side plates.

Durability and Practicality

Each plate is painted black to protect against rust, while the dual-layer base (canvas inside, wool outside) makes the set both durable and historically inspired. Furthermore, leather straps allow for quick adjustments, and the entire set folds easily for transport. As a result, these brigandine legs are practical for both tournaments and training.

  • Full brigandine leg armor – cuisses, floating knees, and greaves
  • Overlapping plates for high mobility and full coverage
  • Floating knee plates close gaps between thigh and shin armor
  • Segment poleyn with side petals for extra knee protection
  • Rust-resistant black-painted plates
  • Durable two-layer cloth base, customizable cover colors
  • Available in hardened steel or titanium

Durable, mobile, and tournament-ready. Add the Floating Brigandine Legs to your kit and fight with full confidence.

Cuisses and Poleyns FAQ



Greaves FAQ


Greaves

a

What padding should be worn under greaves?

Wear fitted padded chausses or dedicated under-armor padding that cushions the shin, calf, and ankle without creating excessive bulk. The padding should remain stable during movement and prevent direct contact between the metal plates and your leg. Use the same padding for measurements and combat. If purchasing new padding with the greaves, provide bare-leg measurements so both pieces can be adjusted as one system.

a

How do I measure my leg for custom greaves?

Take measurements while wearing the exact leg padding you currently use. Provide your height, body weight, widest calf circumference (K), narrowest ankle circumference (L), and knee-to-ankle length(Z). Keep the leg relaxed and the measuring tape snug without compressing the padding. If you order padding and greaves together, measure your bare legs and mention the included padding in the order notes. MedievalExtreme will add the required allowance.</p>

a

How much do titanium greaves weigh compared to steel?

Titanium greaves are generally 20 to 40 percent lighter than an equivalent hardened-steel model. The exact reduction depends on the construction, size, number of plates, straps, and additional components. Brigandine greaves usually remain closer to the lower end of this range because their fabric shell, lining, straps, and hardware retain the same weight. For example, MedievalExtreme brigandine greaves weigh approximately 2.71 kg in steel and 2.05 kg in titanium for XL size.

a

Do buhurt rules allow open greaves?

Yes, but their legality depends on the historical period of the armor kit. Current Buhurt International rules classify open, one-panel greaves as half-greaves. They are approved for 14th-century and Transitional armor but denied for 15th-century armor. The greave must cover the entire front of the lower leg, follow its anatomical shape, protect the ankle bone, and be supported by appropriate historical sources.
