Medieval Long Bracers Bazubands
Boat-shaped forearm armour bracers
Sometimes you need no decorations nor a full set of armor - indeed, parades and tournaments don’t happen everyday, just regular arm armour for cutting practice at your training. And these vambraces are a good instance of basic armour stuff by ArmStreet. Consider them the equivalent of a t-shirt in each modern wardrobe.
We’re constantly refining our basic armour models, which shall comply with three principal criteria: to be reliable, comfortable, and accessible. These boat-shaped bracers meet all the requirements, as they are made of stainless steel 1.5 mm thick, easy to wear with leather buckled straps and attractively priced. Their elongated back plate firmly closes the elbow, allowing one to neglect the separate cops. Longer outer and shorter inner plate are connected with solid steel hinges. Hand hammered and neatly polished lengthwise, they feature smooth edges. All the rims of tightly adjacent parts are turned inward to prevent accidental scratches.
Finished product will be proportioned in accordance with your individual measurements. Owing to their Asia Minor descent, the bazubands match properly the Eastern segmented mitten gauntlets, turban helmets, and lamellar body protection, but also complement any early medieval harness. Simply slide them across your forearms to get ready to fight!
Also available in 14 ga stainless steel for $50 extra.

Important note about measurements: please take into account that we need your measurements in gambeson, choses or other under-armour gear you are planning to use with this armor. The only exception is when you are ordering both armour and padding from our company — in this case you can send us your body measurements. For sabatons please send your footwear actual measurements.

I have not yet had a chance to spar in my new and shiny bazubands, but they are of excellent craftsmanship. The edges are all chamfered, the sizing is dead on (I ordered a large to fit over my gambeson, and they are snug but not tight), and the hinges and straps are very well done. Remember to wipe the inside with a cloth before putting them on as there was some metal polishing compound on them! I'm excited to put some dents in them!
Ordered the size small. Elbows or two inches to long for me. Everything else is great.
Perfect! My bazubands arrived super fast and are gorgeous!
WOW!!!! very impressive in every way! fast delivery for so far away!
What is the weight of an individual bazuband?
It is about 1 kg each depending on the measurements.
Are these SCA legal?
Hi, Tristan! These bazubands can be SCA legal if you wear them with elbow cops. It is important for the elbow to be protected properly.
Is it possible to fully extend your arms comfortably in these bracers? Or do they inhibit full extension because of the wrap around at the elbow? Thanks
Yes, it is comfortable to extend the arms.
Are this arms combat ready or are they for show?
The bazubands are meant to be used for fighting, not just for show. :) They are made of 16 ga stainless steel, can be upgraded to 14 ga stainless steel for $50.00 extra. They are comfy and reliable.
