When piecing together armour for a LARP character, whether young or old, the medieval fighter should never be without protection for the lower neck. The Childs Dark Warrior Gorget is a worthy choice for a young knight or battlemage. Crafted from 18-gauge mild steel, the gorget fits around the lower throat and secures to attachments via adjustable buckle straps and D-rings. An oxidation resistant coating not only provides a dark metal finish, but aids in rust and scratch prevention. Rolled edges and rivets increase its deflection capability. Combining the Childs Dark Warrior Gorget with a padded mantle is recommended for maximum comfort and protection.
Please be aware that these items are handmade. Slight deviations in pattern, color, and shape may occur.
