Leather Leg Armor: Greaves and Leg Guards | Epic Armoury Leather leg armor is one of the most practical pieces you can add to any kit.

Leather leg armor is protective covering for the legs made from leather, worn to absorb strikes in combat or to complete a period or fantasy costume. The core piece is the greave: a shaped leather guard covering the lower leg from ankle to just below the knee. Pair it with poleyns at the knee and you have a complete lower leg setup that looks and functions like a proper armored leg. Most people start with greaves and add knee protection once they know what their character needs. It is a simple system and it works. What You Will Find in This Category Standard Leather Greaves are the foundation of any leg armor setup. The Greaves Squire is a clean, versatile option for most builds. The Ranger Greaves suit lighter, mobile characters: scouts, rogues, and anyone who needs protection without bulk. The Shadow Greaves offer a polished finish for characters who want a more refined or imposing look. The Ready For Battle Series covers the RFB Veteran Greaves, RFB Viking Greaves, and RFB Fighter Greaves: the same construction standards as our full range at a straightforward price.
