Description
Complete leg protection for medieval combat. The Floating Splinted Legs combine splinted cuisses with hardened steel knees and basic splinted greaves into one reliable set. Designed for buhurt fighters, this bundle gives you full thigh, knee, and shin coverage with floating plates to close the gaps and keep mobility high.

The floating knees are riveted to the cuisses with wide leather straps, allowing mobility while protecting the joint from heavy strikes. Additional floating plates close the gap between knee and greave—a common weak point in combat. The splinted design ensures strength without sacrificing movement, while the greaves add side ankle protection against low strikes.

I have never once questioned the quality of work from the people at Medieval Extreme. The mittens I received fit perfectly and look great. The extra steel around the knuckles is a very nice touch that provides excellent protection for punching and against hand strikes. The spacing of the plates on the fingers is also very well considered, leaving just enough room to clean and do maintenance on any rust that may form between the plates. Would 100% recommend.
Excellent basic shoulder protection for dueling.
Couldn’t ask for more. As described, shipped rapidly, high quality, and came with everything needed.
It’s good. Feels a bit flimsy even though I know they hold up. This really comes down to personal preference. Love that it came in the full kit and made suiting up from box to fight very simple.
I REALLY wish this had have come with proper instructions for adjusting the size, and any recommendations for packing/storing gear. It’s a pain in the ass, and obviously very heavy. The bag really needs to be adjusted so it fits properly. I may have a better recommendation once I learn to adjust it and pack better….but perhaps 2 rolling suitcases would have been a better investment. Quality is fantastic though! LOVE the bag as a hiking bag for sure.
Eh, wish the leather didn’t get ruined so quickly with use, but it’s to be expected. Gauntlets are pretty tough on the handles.
Guys, I have my own kit now! It’s so great to just be able to put everything on. Fits like a glove. I was worried that i’d lost some weight and things wouldn’t fit, but everything is perfect. Only issue- I KNOW they don’t have arming points on the gambeson, just wish they did. Otherwise, everything was packaged perfectly, fits perfectly, and looks awesome.
