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.

Specifications of the Floating Splinted Legs:

  • Total weight (XL): 8.0 kg (17.6 lbs) hardened steel / 6.4 kg (14.1 lbs) titanium
  • Cuisses: 5.44 kg (12 lbs) hardened steel / 4.35 kg (9.6 lbs) titanium
  • Greaves: 2.56 kg (5.64 lbs) hardened steel / 2.05 kg (4.51 lbs) titanium
  • Plate thickness: Cuisses 1 mm (0.04 in), knees 1.5 mm (0.06 in), knee sides 1.2 mm (0.05 in), greaves 1 mm (0.04 in)
  • Material: Hardened spring steel 65G or Titanium VT1-0
  • Knees: Always hardened steel, riveted with wide leather straps
  • Cover: Durable wool and linen canvas
  • Attachment: Leather arming point on cuisses for lendenier lacing
  • Extra safety: Floating knee plate covers the gap above the greaves

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.

  • Full set: cuisses with floating knees + splinted greaves
  • Splinted thigh and shin plates for high durability
  • Hardened steel knees with reinforced sides
  • Floating plate protection for the knee-to-greave gap
  • Secure leather arming points for easy attachment
  • Available in hardened steel or titanium

Made for fighters who need reliable leg armor. Add this complete set to your kit and fight with 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.

  1. Josef (verified owner) –

    Robusti e molto leggeri. Dalle foto non sembra ma le stecche sono anche all’interno. Le ginocchiere sono estremamente mobili. Per riassumere? Spettacolari 😊

  2. Michael Linscott (verified owner) –

    Just needed more arming strips of leather for the knees

    • MedievalExtreme (store manager) –

      My bad, adding them to your next package!
