In the captivating world of medieval reenactments, authenticity is key. Imagine yourself as an archer in the 15th century, standing on the battlefield. Every detail of your attire tells a story – from your tunic to your armor. Among these vital pieces of equipment are the knee poleyns, specifically designed for mobility while providing essential protection.
Enter our meticulously crafted late 14th century - 15th Century Archer’s Poleyns, made from sturdy 16-gauge mild steel and genuine leather, designed to evoke the very spirit of medieval warfare. In an era where full plate leg armor was often reserved for the elite and wealthy knights, most foot soldiers, including billmen and spearmen, had to make do with simpler yet effective solutions.
Our poleyns offer the right balance between weight and protection, ensuring that you can move freely during those intense reenactment battles without compromising your safety. These poleyns are a perfect representation of the ingenuity of medieval artisans, constructed to be lightweight and functional. Each piece is carefully designed to cover the knee and a bit of the leg, providing the essential defense needed without the encumbrance of a full armored leg harness.
You’ll appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into every pair, reflecting a true understanding of both historical accuracy and practicality. Furthermore, they feature a one-size-fits-most design, making them accessible to a wide range of enthusiasts. Not only do these poleyns serve their primary purpose of protection, but they also add a distinct touch of authenticity to your ensemble. When you wear them during a reenactment, you can almost feel the weight of history on your shoulders. They are not just armor; they are a connection to a time when archers stood tall, their gear meticulously tuned for both appeal and function.
Join the ranks of the proud warriors and let your legacy endure in every reenactment event!
