Ride on riders of the North, ride on to battle, ride on to glory

The polyurethane foam Outrider Greaves from Epic Armoury is all about combat efficiency. This set of greaves is painted to look like real steel and is accentuated by black leather plates. These fantasy greaves are designed to provide armor protection to the lower legs.

Our lightweight Larp greaves possess knee guards and are equipped with thick leather straps for a quick, easy fit. Rogues will appreciate them for their weight and flexibility, and fighters will recognize them for their protection and durability in harsh combat. Polyurethane armor will not rot or rust and will increase your character's stamina in battle.

MAINTENANCE

With proper care and attention, your purchase should last for many years.

Your armour is made from a polyurethane material that is very strong and will maintain its shape and form if looked after correctly.

Please be aware that although the armour is strong, it is designed to be used for costume purposes only and should not be used or relied upon for protection!

Do not leave out in the sun for long periods of time, as heat can make the polyurethane malleable to the touch.

CLEANING

Your item has been professionally finished with durable paint and polish. Inevitably, as with any painted surface, you will get scratches and wear and tear over time.

For surface soiling we recommend washing with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding leather straps.

Do NOT use any solvent-based cleaners or insect sprays on or near the armour.

Leather straps can be polished with normal shoe polish but avoid getting polish onto the armour surface.

STORAGE

Breastplates and backplates should be strapped together and ideally hung on a coat hanger or similar hanging system. Shoulders also are best stored on hangers.

Helmets should ideally be placed on a stand so that any protruding features such as nasals and ear flaps are hanging free. We have helmet stands available in our online shop if needed.

We recommend that leg armour and braces are strapped around something cylindrical when not in use; drainpipes and drinks bottles could be used for example.

Do NOT store armour on or near to a heat source as this can cause warping.
