Nordic Dragon Leather Bracers (Pair)

A Symbol of Strength and Protection, Masterful Craftsmanship and Design

These bracers are made from ethically sourced buffalo leather, which is dyed with natural, plant-based pigments, giving the colours (brown, green, and red) a rich and authentic look. The dominant feature is the deep and precise embossing of two dragons biting each other to form a circle—a powerful Norse symbol representing the cycle of life, destruction, and eternal strength. The anatomical shape of the bracers is designed to perfectly follow the contour of the forearm, providing maximum coverage.

Comfort and Functionality in Battle

Practicality is just as important as appearance. A firm and adjustable fit is ensured by the lacing system on the inner forearm. Beneath the lacing lies a key detail: a sewn-in leather flap. This prevents uncomfortable pinching of the skin and pressure marks from the cords, ensuring superior comfort even during all-day wear and active movement. This allows you to fully concentrate on the battle or the event experience.

Bracers in History and Myth

Protecting the forearm was crucial for any warrior. While wealthier combatants used metal plates, bracers made of hardened leather (so-called "cuir bouilli") were a widespread, lighter, and more accessible alternative across many cultures, including the Vikings. They served not only as protection against cuts and stabs but also as an arm guard for archery. Furthermore, they were often a sign of status and bore symbols intended to protect their owner on a spiritual level.

Interesting Fact: Dragon Symbolism of the Norse

In Norse mythology, dragons were not just mere monsters. They embodied the primal, chaotic forces of nature and immense power. Dragons like Fafnir, Níðhöggr, or Jörmungandr (the Midgard Serpent) were symbols of destruction, but also guardians of treasure and agents of fateful change. A warrior who wore the symbol of a dragon was invoking its raw power and fearlessness, showing that they would not back down from any challenge.

Specifications and Dimensions

The bracers are designed to fit most warriors. Thanks to the lacing, you can easily adjust them to the circumference of your forearm.

How to Care for Your New Armour

Quality leather is a durable material that will last you through many battles with the proper care. To maintain the beauty and strength of your bracers, follow a few simple principles.

• Protect the bracers from prolonged exposure to water. If they get wet, let them air dry at room temperature, never near a source of direct heat (like a heater or fire).
• Brush off coarse dirt and mud with a soft brush once it has dried.
• Clean stains with a damp cloth, using a small amount of mild leather soap if necessary. Then, allow the bracers to air dry again.
• Occasionally, especially if the leather feels dry, you can treat them with a leather care product (like a conditioner or wax) to restore moisture and flexibility.
