Bracers: A Perfect Balance of Protection and Style

They are a statement of strength, resilience, and character.

At Epic Armoury, our Vambraces blend historical accuracy, fantastical creativity, and modern practicality, making them the ideal accessory for LARPers, cosplayers, reenactors, and Renaissance Faire enthusiasts.

Whether you’re stepping into the role of a valiant knight, a daring rogue, or a cunning mercenary, armguards complete your look and provide the protection you need to embrace your character fully.

A Legacy of Strength and Creativity

Bracers hold a unique place in the history of armor, originating as essential protective gear and evolving into intricate works of art and storytelling tools.

• Ancient and Medieval Origins: From Roman leather guards to the elaborate vambraces of medieval knights, bracers were designed to shield forearms from strikes and debris while offering freedom of movement in battle. Over time, they became symbols of status, adorned with intricate designs and crafted from luxurious materials.
• Fantasy Worlds: In the realm of fantasy, arm plates have transcended their historical roots, becoming essential gear for warriors, rangers, and rogues. From rugged leather bracers worn by elven archers to the gleaming steel guards of heroic knights, these pieces embody the courage and skill of their wearers.
• Modern Craftsmanship: Today, bracers are reimagined for immersive storytelling, combining the aesthetics of historical and fantastical designs with the comfort and practicality required for LARP, cosplay, and reenactments.

Selecting depends on your character’s story and your practical needs.

• Material Matters: Leather provide agility and comfort for active characters, while steel deliver unmatched durability for those seeking authenticity. PU are perfect for those prioritizing affordability and long-wear comfort.
