Full Armor Set "Shadow"

Shadow Armor Set – Lightweight Made-to-Measure Steel Armor

The Shadow Armor Set is a lightweight, made-to-measure steel armor set designed for athletes, training groups, historical reenactors, and organized sports activities.

Developed as a reinforced evolution of our dueling armor, the Shadow set combines reliable coverage, durability, comfort, and excellent freedom of movement.

Compared with the Protector and Warden armor sets, the Shadow configuration uses a simplified construction with fewer articulated elements. This reduces unnecessary weight while maintaining effective protection of the torso, arms, and legs.

The result is a streamlined historical armor set designed for people who value mobility, comfortable movement, and dependable construction.

Lightweight Armor Designed for Mobility

The Shadow Armor Set was developed with mobility and freedom of movement as key priorities.

The simplified construction eliminates articulated joints in the arms and legs, helping reduce the overall weight and bulk of the armor. The combination of anatomical shaping and the Shadow Coat of Plates provides a balanced configuration suitable for dynamic movement and demanding training environments.

Key advantages include:

• Lightweight steel armor construction
• Excellent freedom of movement
• Anatomically shaped components
• Reduced bulk and weight
• Reliable torso and limb coverage
• Made-to-measure fit
• Balanced combination of mobility and durability

Shadow Coat of Plates – Lightweight Body Armor

The Shadow Coat of Plates provides the main torso protection of the set.

Manufactured from 1 mm steel, it offers extended coverage of the back together with additional plates protecting the collarbone area.

Its construction provides a practical balance between coverage and mobility without the bulk associated with heavier brigantine-style armor.

Construction features:

• 1 mm steel construction
• Extended back coverage
• Additional collarbone plates
• Lightweight design
• Comfortable construction for active movement

The Shadow Coat of Plates is an excellent choice for anyone looking for lightweight body armor with reliable steel protection.

Shadow Shoulders & Rerebraces

The Shadow shoulders and rerebraces are manufactured as solid, single-piece components from 1 mm spring steel.

Their anatomical shape provides broad coverage while keeping the construction streamlined and lightweight.

The design allows natural arm movement without the additional weight and complexity of large articulated shoulder systems.

This makes the Shadow configuration particularly suitable for historical armor, sports equipment, and active training environments.

Shadow Vambraces & Elbows

The arm protection combines 1.5 mm steel elbows with 1 mm steel vambraces.

The anatomical construction connects the forearm and elbow protection without articulated plates, allowing natural arm positioning and excellent freedom of movement.

Two configurations are available:

• ¾ Vambraces – a lighter option for reduced weight and maximum mobility
• Full Vambraces – provide complete forearm coverage and are mounted on a steel hinge

The reinforced elbow construction provides additional durability in one of the most exposed areas of the arm.

Anatomical Leg Armor

The Shadow leg protection combines anatomical shaping with a lightweight steel construction.

The cuisses are made from 1 mm steel, while the knees are reinforced with 1.5 mm steel for increased durability.

A floating attachment system allows the knee protection to move naturally with the leg without restricting the joint.

Leg armor features:

• Anatomically shaped cuisses
• Reinforced 1.5 mm steel knees
• Floating knee attachment system
• Full anatomical greaves
• Hardened steel construction
• Excellent freedom of movement

The standard full greaves can also be replaced with ¾ or ½ versions, allowing you to choose the configuration that best suits your needs.
