"Ranger" Leather Greaves, Black
Design and Functionality in One
The "Ranger" greaves combine practicality with an impressive appearance. They are crafted from leather approximately 3 mm thick, providing sufficient protection against impacts in a LARP setting while remaining light and comfortable enough for all-day wear. A prominent feature is the hand-stitched edging with a thick leather lace, which not only reinforces the construction but also serves as a striking decorative detail. The fastening system consists of three sturdy leather straps with brass buckles, allowing for easy and quick size adjustment to ensure a secure fit over trousers or leg wraps.
What Characters Are They For?
Thanks to their versatile and somewhat rustic look, these greaves are suitable for a wide range of fantasy and historically-inspired characters:
- Rangers, hunters, and woodsmen: For protection against thorns, underbrush, and the bites of wild beasts.
- Vikings and Saxons: As a light and functional alternative to more complex armour.
- Mercenaries and light infantry: Providing essential protection in skirmishes where speed triumphs over heavy plate.
- Various fantasy characters: From elven scouts to dwarven warriors, their style is easily adaptable.

How to Wear and Care for Your Armour
Wearing: Place the greave against your shin. Wrap the three straps around your calf and secure them in the buckles. Tighten them so the greave sits firmly and doesn't slip, but not so tight that it restricts blood circulation or movement.
Care: This is a genuine leather product. Protect it from moisture. If the greaves get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature (never near a heat source!). Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush. To maintain the leather's flexibility and longevity, treat it occasionally with a suitable leather conditioner or grease.
