A blow to the hip or upper thigh might not be lethal, but it can be enough to put you off balance, leaving you vulnerable to another attack. The Imperial Faulds and Tassets help to prevent this potentially fatal occurrence. The tassets protect your upper thighs, while the faulds shield your waist and hips from slashing or piercing weapons. The Imperial tassets connect to the faulds with buckled straps, increasing your protection without sacrificing a full range of motion. Crafted from 19 gauge mild steel with top-grain leather fittings, this brightly polished Imperial leg protection will help you to keep moving and stand tall during your next LARP experience.

Well made set. The articulation for bending works surprisingly well. The general curvature of this piece runs a bit small and is difficult to fit over a gambeson. Regardless, it is a well made piece.
