This pair of medieval leg greaves offer complete leg protection 380mm (15 inches) high. Each piece is pre-fitted with a pin and is ready to be locked in position on your polyen to fit your leg. To fit perfectly to your upper legs you may need to drill a hole or preferably make a vertical slot in the bottom of the knee cop for the pin to slide in.
A greave (from 12th cent ury French greve "shin", of uncertain origin) is a piece of armour that protects the leg.
Historically they were often made in matched pairs ( a pair of greaves), greaves may be constructed of materials ranging from padded cloth to steel plate - as our ones here.
