Product Description

This pair of medieval leg greaves offer complete leg protection for re-enactors. 380mm (15 inches) high. They have been designed to match our polyens and cuisses. Each piece is pre-fitted with a pin and is ready to be locked in position on your polyen to fit your leg. To fit perfectly to your upper legs you may need to drill a hole or preferably make a vertical slot in the bottom of the knee cop for the pin to slide in.

A greave (from 12th cent ury French greve "shin", of uncertain origin) is a piece of armour that protects the leg.

Now available in a realistic satin finish which looks much better than a high polish. Let us know which you prefer.

Historically they were often made in matched pairs (a pair of greaves), greaves may be constructed of materials ranging from padded cloth to steel plate - as our ones here.

Size: 380mm long
Weight: 1.12kg

  1. Perfect fit

    Posted by Jason Harlow on 9th Nov 2010

    I have had mine for about 6 months and they fit me perfectly. I added a strap recently to join to my new sabatons but that is the only mod I have done. They fit perfectly with the polyens I had bought about a year ago and couldn't be happier. I should mention that I am a 'grown up' of more than 4 decades and over 6 feet tall. JH

  2. Shin guards not leg greaves

    Posted by Robbie serafino on 7th Nov 2010

    This will protect the shins well, Not the rest of the lower leg. They would suit a 14 to 16 year old but not a grown up, they are simply not wide enough, height is good but far to narrow, i do have big calves but these are not safe for me to train in. great shin protection for that 1200 look, nothing later though.

  3. Get a leg up...

    Light, fitted, style and flare.
    They work so well for their intended purpose, and whilst tough, since even historical ones were never meant to be a prime target, they're light and well cool.
    I did find that, whilst wearing authotics, that they tended to roll a bit, but that can be fixed by removing the stud (if you have to) and attaching another strap.
