The Steel Jost Greaves showcase a striking look, displaying a riveted trim along the edges of the design. This pair of steel greaves offers coverage from your knee to ankle with a distinctive outward curve at the bottom. The simple curve provides extra space for moving your ankles to aid maneuverability. The leg armour possesses a bright metal gleam that looks great on knights and champions of all sorts, especially when paired with other pieces of medieval armour. We recommend wearing padded arming wear underneath this plate armour for increased comfort. This leg protection is ideal for use at LARP events and re-enactments.

I got these greaves specifically to go with my ‘House of Warfare’ steel sabatons (foot armor) on nothing but a gut feeling. My gut was right! They go great together and look totally ‘historically correct’. With the (Mytholon) Leopold padded greaves underneath the steel greaves, they sit *just right* on top of the sabatons and are very comfortable. The polish is nice, and the straps and buckles are thick and strong. (See my review of the sabatons, and get yourself a mental picture of those and these greaves together. You’ll understand the 5-star rating! ) Gonna be a big hit at Ren-Fest!!! 🙂
