Rieneck Cuisses with Knees
Upper leg combat armor, late 14th c.
This armor is both historically accurate and good for sport usage. It is well-known among medieval enthusiasts and the most known reference relates to Gerhard von Rieneck grave (circa 1382). Our late XIV century harness is relatively simple that makes it reliable and practical. Another important feature of this armor kit is the fact that it might be disassembled, so each piece can be used separately. Cops and cuisses are decorated with leather bordering. Fan plates has smooth lines and rounded edges to match historical medieval battle and SCA safety standards.
Optionally the armor is available in mild steel.

Came in the mail yesterday. Great communication and fast shipment even despite having a war fought in the country. Happy to support. Been doing SCA for about 10 years now and the legs seem very well put together and look great. The arming points were well constructed and seem pretty durable and I liked the thickness of the accent leather. No issues with size and shape. I look forward to getting some fights in with them soon. Pretty good value for the $ as well. Comparable to other stainless legs on price and good quality. Would recommend.
I bought the Rieneck Cuisses with Knees. Steel with black accents and custom measurements. Came out absolutely beautiful. Very well put together and very reliable. Does not come with leather ties and I would definitely order those and a C belt. Very good mobility in the hip and knee. Would highly recommend for beginners. I had to punch one hole in the leather strap to provide my needed tightness. Thank you very much Armstreet.

Very impressed all around. I had to punch Extra holes in the leather straps to tighten it to the right dimension. Does not come with leather ties! Definitely order those and a C belt. Absolutely beautiful set of armor. Would highly recommend for starters. Made to SCA specifications. Thank you Armstreet.
