The perfect piece of steel plate armour for LARP warriors who want protection and excellent maneuverability, the Steel Elias Short Cuirass cuts off at the midriff, allowing full rotation of the torso when fighting. This short body armour looks great combined with a chainmail shirt, showing off a bright metal finish that suits medieval knight and champion character types. We recommend wearing a gambeson or other padded arming wear with this steel breastplate for increased comfort. This armour includes both front and back protection.

the only downside is the (by the way you don’t need the gorgot AND this to wear the spaulders this has shoulder loop straps) rivets dig into your shoulders. so be sure to get some padding like the arthur padded collar. other than that it is easy to put on and take off if you put the side straps 2 looser than your proper fit so you can slip it over you head with ease. thank you DKA

This Cuirass is good for a person like me who has a small frame and would not fit or need a full sides cuirass. Very happy with it!
