Very few things offer greater protective qualities than steel when it comes to historical armor. But steel also has disadvantages such as weight, inflexibility, and the need for constant maintenance to guard against rust. However, in this day and age, unless you're in reenactment or on the SCA battlefield, you simply don't need the level of protection that steel offers.
Here at Epic Armory we would like to introduce our Light Kit Edition Armors. Light Kit armors are armors made of polyurethane, designed to look like real metal armors. Created with weight, comfort and utility in mind, the Light Kit Edition armors are for those who want to look like they are wearing real metal armor while still being comfortable.
