Fantasy Cuirass with Tassets, Armour for LARP and Cosplay

Who Is This Cuirass For?

This piece of armour is designed with both visual impact and functionality in mind. It serves perfectly as:

• Armour for LARP: The durable 1.2 mm steel construction provides reliable protection while remaining light enough for all-day wear. Adjustable straps ensure a perfect fit.
• Cosplay and Fantasy Costumes: Whether you're portraying a character from a beloved game, film, or book, this cuirass will elevate your costume to the next level and ensure you're admired at every convention.
• Theatrical and Film Productions: The distinctive design is ideal for creating memorable characters in fantasy and historical projects.

Design and Inspiration

Unlike strict historical replicas, this cuirass draws inspiration from various periods and combines it with fantasy elements. The articulated abdominal plates, which allow for a smooth forward bend, are reminiscent of advanced 15th-century Gothic armour. The broad torso coverage and the system of three separate tassets, in turn, evoke the powerful armour from fantasy worlds. The result is a design that is not only aesthetically impressive but, thanks to its clever assembly on leather straps, also surprisingly functional and comfortable.

A Tidbit from the World of Fantasy

In the world of fantasy, the "Rule of Cool" often applies, where the appearance of armour triumphs over its practicality. This cuirass, however, is an example of an excellent compromise. It proves that even armour that looks like it's from an epic saga can be smartly designed so as not to restrict its wearer's movement. It is precisely this balance between protection, mobility, and appearance that distinguishes the armour of a true hero from ordinary plating.

How to Care for Your Armour

This product has been carefully treated with a layer of oil before packaging, which acts as a temporary protective layer against corrosion (rust).
