About me

About the Armour

STRONG

Plastic armour does not rust, rot, soften, or dent. The plastic I exclusively use is high density polyethylene (HDPE). I like HDPE for its impact resistance and strength. HDPE is less likely to shatter than ABS or other super rigid plastics. Complex curves are vacuum-formed, rather than cut and bent, maximizing their strength.

PROTECTIVE

High density polyethylene has excellent force-dispersal properties, making it an ideal material for armour making. All armour meets or exceeds SCA society minimums. 

SIZED

Where possible, I ask for relevant measurements from my clients, to ensure proper fit. If I have to cut something out for you, I use your measurements, not pre-defined templates. I offer sizes for convenience, but your measurements are vital to ensure proper fit.
