Braced Shield

Epic Armoury's Braced Shield is a round latex shield inspired by wooden shields of the early Middle Age Vikings and Saxons. With a wooden texture, sculpted iron rim and center plate, this simple 60 cm shield has a lot of detail thanks to the hand-painted wood and iron finish. Defend yourself against your enemies and make this Braced Shield a part of your epic fighting style in a wide range of games!

Wear this Braced Shield left- or right-handed with the use of two cotton arm straps on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

History
