Simple yet effective armour for the thigh and knee, the Blackened Markward Full Leg Guards offer excellent protection on the battlefield. The steel leg armour consists of eight pieces fitted together, a design which grants great flexibility. Perfect for LARPing, re-enactments, and the Renaissance fair, the leg protection boasts a dark metal finish that suits mercenaries and rogues of all kinds. The plate armour is attached to the wearers waist using straps that can be adjusted to accommodate the leg length of the wearer. We recommend wearing padded arming wear underneath the leg guards for increased comfort. Be sure to check out our other Markward-style armour to create an entire warrior ensemble.

These look and feel awesome. I can do a straight knee drop and not feel a thing (I am not suggesting everyone do this). The tops have belt loops to keep them from sliding down. I suggest a sturdy belt and some suspenders to keep them in place. Worked great for me.
