Heater Shield – Classic Medieval LARP Shield by Epic Armoury

The Heater Shield by Epic Armoury is a no-nonsense classic—bold, functional, and ready for battle. Inspired by historical heater shields from the 12th to 14th centuries, it combines authentic medieval aesthetics with modern LARP safety and durability. A perfect choice for knights, guards, mercenaries, or militia looking for a clean, timeless design.

Authentic Design, Modern Craft

This shield shares its solid foundation with Epic Armoury’s Baron’s Shield, featuring a sculpted EVA foam core and layered construction for strength and longevity. Unlike its heraldic sibling, however, the Heater Shield opts for a minimalist aesthetic — bold, practical, and versatile enough to suit any character. Choose between two distinctive colour options: red and green or white and red, each with hand-painted texture for a weathered, authentic look.

Built for Battle

The curved surface of the Heater Shield provides excellent wrap-around protection, especially when bracing or fighting in formation. It’s crafted from durable EVA foam with carved “wood-grain” detail and reinforced stitched leather edges, offering both resilience and realism. The surface features a linen-like texture, giving it that comfortably used look right out of the box.

Comfortable and Adaptable

On the reverse, a cross-strap leather handle system allows for both left- and right-handed use. Whether you’re dual-wielding, switching grip mid-battle, or simply prefer versatility, this system adapts perfectly to your fighting style. It’s not just convenient — it’s a thoughtful piece of design that expands your playstyle.
