Viking armor
DescriptionYou admire the Viking armor that belonged to your father. The great warrior made his final journey, but your brothers managed to bring his armor especially for you. At least for that, you are grateful.
Looking at the tough, freshly polished steel, you wonder what this armor has seen. This armor, worn on countless voyages, may have been covered in blood from raids on the English coast, tarnished under the Spanish sun, and used in the defense of Miklagard.
One day you will add something to your story.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury's Viking Armor is a breastplate and backplate inspired by the lamellar armor worn by Vikings, protecting the front and back of the torso. Crafted from layers of mild steel plates connected by durable leather lacing, this armor is flexible and impressively detailed. Heavy-duty leather lines the armor around the edges for added comfort, while adjustable leather straps along the sides and shoulders secure the front to a sturdy leather backplate.
Viking armor can be fully combined with other Epic Armory metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character's costume. Crafted from 1mm thick mild steel with premium leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with the usual care of leather and metal armor.
Available in medium/large size.

Maintenance
Epic Armory Metal Works products should be treated with a quality, acid-free wax or vegetable oil and kept in a dry place. Metal armor containing leather components requires separate leather care. Read the "Leather Belts and Accessories" section below for information on cleaning and maintaining leather with leather care products.
Degrease and prepare your armor for use
When you open your armor, you may be overwhelmed by the smell of grease and oil. The oil has been applied to protect your armor during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits and a dry cloth or paper towels to remove all the oil from the plate armor pieces. It's a little more difficult to remove all the oil from chain mail links, but it can be done the same way. Wipe off as much as you can with a dry cloth, and with the remaining oil, you can degrease the chain mail with mineral spirits or another solvent by spraying it on the links. You can also choose to completely submerge your chain mail in a degreasing product and use your hands to agitate the metal in the solution; this will completely remove all the oil and grease from your links. After removing the oil, be sure to dry the armor thoroughly. Bright, warm sunlight is excellent for drying your armor, but you can also use a hair dryer or heat gun to speed up the process. Be careful not to overheat any piece of leather when using a heat gun.
Cleaning
Moisture is the enemy of armor and chain mail. If your armor gets wet, it's important to dry it thoroughly as soon as possible. After handling, use, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the cleaned surface with a quality, acid-free vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the exposed metal. Let the wax dry for a couple of hours, then lightly buff it with a soft cloth.
Prevention and elimination of rust
Store your armor in a dry place and check it every two months for signs of rust. If you find any, remove it by gently rubbing the affected area with a mildly abrasive pad moistened with wax or quality acid-free vegetable oil. Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but should still be treated with oil and stored in a dry place.
Leather belts and accessories
Clean them by removing dirt with a stiff brush, then gently scrub with leather soap and a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to clean any soap residue, and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.
You should always condition leather after cleaning it, as the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax using a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or wax into the leather in circles. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping it with a final clean cloth to remove excess residue.
