Steel lamellar armour with U-shaped scales

Steel lamellar armour with U-shaped scales, widely used throughout the Middle Ages by the peoples of Eastern Europe.

This armour is one of the most representative pieces of equipment of the Varangian Guard and the cataphracts.

It is made of steel scales 1 mm thick, with vegetable-tanned cowhide for the reinforcements.

The scales are laced with 3 mm round leather laces for maximum strength.

This armour is supplied as a kit with all the parts and tools needed to assemble it. The assembly manual supplied with it will guide you step by step.

The kit lets you choose between 4 different assembly patterns for the breastplate: cavalry or infantry, symmetrical or alternating. Additional options (colour, leather reinforcements, spaulders, tassets) make your armour fully customisable.

This kit is made for sizes S to M (110 cm maximum waist) and weighs 5.5 kg. For larger sizes, additional scales are available.
