RAMSHACKLE GEAR

Taking its inspiration in the shape of the crescent-like shields used by the Peltasts in Ancient Greece, Epic Armoury’s Raider Shield is a half-moon shaped shield designed with ruinous raiders and warmongers in mind. Sculpted and hand painted, one side shows of a hammered metal finish, the other a smooth dark surface. To give the shield a used look rusty effects have been added, and triangular rivets around the edges help give the impression, that this shield has been modified and reinforced using scavenged materials. The two rings pierced through the top corner of the shield are great details that adds to its character and makes this product distinguishable from most other shields. .

The Raider Shield will work just as well for a goblin invader or a brutal orc from a high fantasy realm as it will for a pillaging bandit or a dark knight

Crafted from durable closed cell foam and coated with latex, this shield is more than ready for LARP battle. The tri-position grip and adjustable buckle straps found on the inner side will make sure you maintain a secure grip as you bash your way through your foes.

This item is hand-made and/or hand-painted, which makes it unique. In result of that, this product can have natural differences in design, color and shape, which are not considered faults or defects.

Everyone wants for their weapons to serve as long as possible.

Nothing can describe how to maintain tem as good as a video, so we encourage you to check out one of the episodes of “The Logbook” on that topic (with English subtitles):

Remember that most of the damage is done due to the lack of maintenance and bad storage.

Store your latex weapons flat or standing on their pommel - NEVER on the thrust (this will cause damage to the tip of the weapon, that’s not refunded)
Use a barrier made of paper or a towel to guard your weapon in contact with other plastic or rubber surface, so they won’t stick together.
Keep your weapon in a cool, dry area.
Avoid long time exposure to sunlight and don’t transport your weapons on top of your car luggage.
Remember about the maintenance, sprays work best for that.
