Captain Leg Protection - Light Kit

Our Captain Leg Protection - Light Kit brings full leg coverage to Polyurea (PU), guarding the thigh and knee at a fraction of the steel original. This pair of leg plates follow the same logic as the forged version, with a knee that carries a ridged and riveted border and a pointed fan to turn blows away from the joint, all linked by riveted bands down the leg.

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. Full grain leather straps with metal buckles secure each section, with a top strap that attaches to your belt and extra straps at the knee to lock it in place, and it pairs with the rest of the Captain range, including the Captain Cuirass, Pauldrons, Gorget, Arm Protection, and Belt Shields.

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.
