Very few things offer greater protective qualities than steel regarding historical armour. But with steel also comes disadvantages like weight, inflexibility and the need for constant maintenance to protect against rust. Nevertheless, in this day and age, unless you are on the re-enactment or SCA battlefield, you don’t need the level of protection that steel affords. We here at Epic Armoury would like to present our Light Kit Edition Armours. Light Kit Armours are made from polyurea, meant to resemble authentic metallic armours. Created with weight, comfort and utility in mind, Light Kit edition armours are for those who want to look like they are wearing authentic metallic armours while comfortable. To the untrained eye, these polyurea armours are challenging to distinguish from their metallic counterparts. However, they are more comfortable to wear and can be worn for long periods without discomfort. Indeed, the flexible nature of this armour means that it can bend to the contours of your body in a way that rigid steel will not. Each part is a quarter of the weight of its steel equivalent, allowing for faster movement with less fatigue. Each piece is hand-painted with a durable acrylic finish and is detailed to look as realistic as possible. The maintenance-free finish will not rust like steel and can be worn in all weather. Adjustable leather straps and the flexible nature of the armour allow it to be comfortably worn.
