Floating Elbow

Epic Armoury’s Floating Elbow are a pair of couters designed to protect the elbows from lucky sword blows. Sculpted to provide the most protection to the entire elbow, including the sides and the top of the forearms, you can depend on this armor to keep you swinging. Overlapping plates provide comfort and flexibility, allowing great mobility on the battlefield.

Two leather straps are used to keep each of the Floating Elbow in place. Made of 1 mm mild steel and full-grain leather straps and fittings, these armor pieces are built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

• Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors
