According to contemporary illustrations, bracers of the Varangian Guard were reconstructed from five 5 mm steel strips attached to the belt. The wrist ends of these LARP bracers have been curved outwards to ensure that the wrists can freely move as you wield your weapon of choice. The metal strips feature an antiqued finish that completes the unique look of the steel armor. This historical bracer design has the advantage of being lighter and more flexible than plate armor.

Please be aware that this armor is handmade, and it can be thicker than listed here. As such, it is intended mainly for costuming, reenactment, and LARP.
