Short Description

The Farald Padded Greaves provide cushioning and protection under metal or leather leg armor. Made from durable canvas with polyester padding, they fasten with long straps in a cross pattern and ensure comfort during combat or long wear. Sold in pairs.

Description

The Farald Padded Greaves are designed to make your armor not only safer but also more comfortable. Worn beneath steel or leather greaves, they reduce bruising and abrasion, adding an extra layer of padding between your legs and the hard plates of your armor.

Each greave fastens easily with long straps that wrap around the shin, forming an attractive cross-lacing pattern. For those who prefer to avoid tying knots, the straps can also be secured using garment hooks. Durable canvas combined with polyester filling ensures both resilience and comfort, making these padded greaves an essential accessory for long events or battle-heavy scenarios.

Legend

Long campaigns and endless battles wear not only on steel but also on the warrior beneath it. Many veterans tell of scars not from enemy blades, but from their own armor grinding against flesh and bone. To spare themselves such needless wounds, soldiers and mercenaries alike lined their legs with padded greaves. Simple in design yet invaluable in service, these pieces became the silent guardians of every fighter’s endurance.
