This Viking Cuirass Chest Armor is made from Vegan-friendly leather and is adjustable in one adjustable size. A perfect piece for any shieldmaiden or Norseman.
The most common type of armor was a shirt of mail, which consisted of interlocking metal rings or a lighter material like linen or wool. This base material was usually supplemented with a leather or metal breastplate, which provided additional protection to the chest and abdomen.
In some cases, Viking warriors also wore metal shoulder guards, shin guards, and helmets. The Norse god Odin was said to have created the first piece of armor, and it is thought that the Vikings modeled their own armor after his.
Please Note: Many of our pieces are made to order and in some cases it may be 3-4 weeks before you receive it.
