Product description

This cuirass clearly shows influences of the late Greenwich style. Around the late 16th century, tassets were often made wider to provide greater protection for the upper thighs. This eliminated the need to pair the cuirass with heavy leg armor, making it more practical, especially for infantry use. Cuirasses like this were primarily worn by pikemen and were often combined with morions or cabassets, pikemen’s helmets, or sometimes burgonets.

Such armor was worn in the 16th and early 17th centuries, mainly by pikemen and Landsknechte in European armies.

The straps of this breastplate are reinforced with plates for added strength. The thigh guards are made from multiple segments. The cuirass comes with a backplate and has a steel thickness of 1.2 mm.
