PRODUCTS FAQ

What is the armour made from?
The armour is made from a hybrid polyurethane. We use 2 different materials - a hard one for the armour, helms and shields, and a softer, more flexible one for the leather and cloth items.

How strong is it?
We have run over armour and helms with a 1.5 ton four wheel drive. They squashed flat but sprung back into shape as soon as the pressure was released and the only permanent damage was some scratches from the gravel on the road.

Will it stand up to latex weapons?
Yes it will.

Is it suitable for re-enactment?
Yes it will stand up to fighting with metal weapons, we can thicken the material if required for added protection.

Does it look real?
Until you actually touch it and pick it up, you cannot tell it is not metal/leather/cloth etc.

What about sizes?
We ask that you provide us with you head/chest size when ordering to ensure a good fit.

Are there any sharp edges?
All edges are rounded and smooth so they will not cut.

Does it degrade over time?
No.

Does the paint come off?
Like any painted surface it will scratch but it won’t flake off.

Can I order a unique design?
Yes you can, but it will be very expensive. Our process begins with our design team who pass on drawings to the armourers who then make the originals in metal. This is all done in-house, in our own studio and workshops. (This is the most time consuming and costly part of our process, some of our prototypes take weeks to make, especially where there is fine engraved detailing.) We then make a series of moulds from which we produce replicas in Poly. All the component parts are then painted, hand finished and assembled ready for shipping. We recoup the cost for design and prototyping by reproducing many copies from each of the moulds.

Please email with any questions you have that are not answered here and we will endeavour to answer them and add them to this page.
