Captain Belt Shields - Light Kit

A Polyurea (PU) reproduction of our mild steel Captain Belt Shields, giving you the same proud, sovereign silhouette at a fraction of the weight. Designed to hang over the outer thigh and protect the upper leg without restricting movement, it slides onto your belt using the full grain leather loops and adjusts for a comfortable fit. A final layer of protection that reads as blackened steel from across the field.

Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel look without the strain. The Light Kit pairs with the rest of the Captain range, including the Captain Cuirass, Captain Pauldrons, Captain Gorget, Captain Arm Protection, and Captain Leg Protection.

Fit, adjustment & care

The strap system handles most sizing on its own, but for a closer fit, you can gently reshape the material itself using heat. Apply heat to the inside of the piece rather than the painted exterior, so the material becomes flexible without damaging the finish.

• Finish: The base material underneath the painted surface is black, so over time, scratches and general wear may reveal this black color underneath.

• Easy touch-ups: Minor cosmetic damage, such as scuffs or scratches can be simply repaired at home using a primer and acrylic hobby paints (such as Army Painter or Citadel).

• Leather care: The leather straps should be maintained like any other full-grain leather product, with occasional conditioning to keep them supple and long-lasting.

• A living finish: Wear and patina are a natural part of your armor's lifecycle and can be expected with regular use, adding to the authentic, battle-worn character of the piece.
