During the Late Middle Ages, arm armor was widely embraced among knights and wealthy men-at-arms alike. Made up of three components: a vambrace to protect the forearm; a couter for the elbow; and rerebrace cover over top - these pieces were joined together in such a way that hand mobility remained intact. As fashion changed so too did this style piece with styles ranging from simple rounded shapes, heart shaped forms through larger fluted wings as seen on German gothic arms up until 1550.

These double-jointed armor pieces move with you, never weighing you down. They are smartly hung from a leather band and fastened to your mail shirt with arming laces (not included). No matter how heated the battle gets they stay firmly secured in place thanks to tough leather straps at forearm, elbow and upper arm. Acting like wings that tuck inward flawlessly, these arm guards protect those most vulnerable areas above all else...your inner elbows!
