Pauldrons “Bird of Prey”

Shoulder armor with swordbreakers

Styled after the late 14th - early 15th centuries, these pauldrons are completely adapted for full-contact medieval combat. Given that the hero of our new harness “Bird of Prey” belongs to knightly stratum - judging by his richly ornated splint armor - we decided to endow him with a reliable shoulder protection against polearm attacks coming from below.

The main cup of the pauldrons is made of 1.5 mm (16 ga) stainless steel to prevent rusting and reinforced with rolled edging, which provides high impact resistance. These feature excellent articulation - flexibility of the upper segment is achieved with movable rivets.

Possess projecting vertical elements, named 'gardbraces' or 'swordbreakers'. Their smooth, rounded surfaces ensure that hits will glance. Any blow targeting the neck or clavicle would transfer most of its kinetic energy to the pauldron, without damaging the body tissue. Instead of catching the full energy of the lance, the swordbreakers would reflect the impact, allowing the lance to slide off innocuously.

Sizing of the pauldrons is carried out individually, taking into account personal measurements. Includes buckled leather upper arm strap and a special leather strap for fastening to the gorget with a pin. Their shape is beautiful in itself, so no additional decorations this time! Designed especially for steel weapon training and fighting.

    Hi, Is it possible to have a logo etched on each shoulder?

    ArmStreet Team:

    Hi Jonathan, yes it is possible. Please contact our support team with the picture of the logo so we could calculate the price for you.

    Are these pauldrons able to be customized? I was interested in these pauldrons but would really like it if they could be made out of mild steel 14 gauge instead. Is this possible?

    ArmStreet Team:

    Hi Zac, yes it is possible. Please simply leave this request in the comment to your order.

    What is involved in the Bird of Prey Pauldrons. There is a lot in most of the pictures. I'm just trying to confirm if the price is including the leather neck piece or upper arm piece or even everything from forearm to forearm, which seems unlikely, or just the pauldrons themselves.

    ArmStreet team:

    This is the price for the pauldrons only. The matching arms and the gorget aren't included, but available separately.
