LEG ARMOR

Steel leg armor is a protective covering crafted from durable metal plates, designed to safeguard the wearer's legs in battle. It consists of multiple articulated sections to ensure both defense and mobility.

Components:

  • Cuisses – Steel plates that protect the thighs, often reinforced with additional layers or riveted attachments for flexibility.
  • Poleyns – Rounded or pointed knee guards, sometimes featuring decorative fluting or ridges for added strength.
  • Greaves – Steel coverings for the shins, designed to deflect blows while maintaining a snug fit to prevent movement restrictions.
  • Sabaton – Metal foot armor, segmented for articulation, providing full coverage and stability in combat.
