“The Dark Star” Arm Harness

Blackened Spring Steel XV Arm Harness

If you must get close to the Dark Star, feel her pull. Revel in her orbit and embrace the gravity of her attraction. Experience the thrill of the hunt and the terror of crossing her. Remember those of us who keep a distance – those on the perimeters, who learn what we can without falling into her world. Remember that we keep a distance for a reason.

This arm harness is a part of our new Dark Star armor set. Designed for the female figure, we have taken historical inspiration and fantasy to create this stunning collection. We have also used a brand new material for ArmStreet – spring steel. Spring steel has greater structural integrity than regular steel, meaning it is stronger than regular steel, letting us use thinner steel, and lighter armor. The result is a lightweight, comfortable piece of armor that still provides the same protection. We have used a historical technique, blackening, which gives this piece a unique look, as well as helping to protect from rust.

This piece includes full arm protection from shoulder to wrist. It is loosely based on armor from the XV century. Although it is all a single assembly this arm harness consists of three main pieces. From the shoulder down, an articulated pauldron is attached to the rerebrace, covering the outside of the upper arm. A large, protective elbow cop covers the elbow and below that, a fully enclosed vambrace provides protection for the forearm. The vambrace is attached to the rerebrace by means of a leather strap, which also functions as an attachment point for the elbow cop to be laced on.

The silhouette of this arm harness is sleek and feminine but it still offers great protection in a realistic, historical way. The excellent flexibility and ease of movement come from the flawless articulation which has been achieved with leather and rivets. This gives the wearer greater ease of movement and will suit them well in battle!

We have used premium touches to take this arm harness the extra mile. Solid brass rivets, quality leather, and brass buckles are just a few of the aspects that make this arm harness feel luxurious.

Please, mind that no polishing option is available if you choose brassed spring steel!

IMPORTANT: To fit correctly and prevent injury, a suit of armour must be accurately built to the measurements of the person wearing it. PLEASE take all measurements over either the gambeson or under-padding you are planning to wear with this armour. The sole exception is for persons buying armour and padding together, ArmStreet will then make the proper size adjustments for the armour based on the measurements provided for the padding.
