Hybrid
Polyurethane Arms and Armour FAQ's
What is the armour made from?
The armour is made from a hybrid polyurethane. We
use 2 different materials - a hard one for the armour, helms and shields,
and a softer, more flexible one for the leather and cloth items.
How strong is it?
We have run over armor and helms with a 1.5 ton
four wheel drive. They squashed flat but sprung back into shape as soon as
the pressure was released and the only permanent damage was some scratches
from the gravel on the road.
Will it stand up to latex weapons?
Yes it will.
Is it suitable for re-enactment?
Yes it will stand up to fighting with metal
weapons, we can thicken the material if required for added protection. You
must contact us for this option. Please note there is no extra
charge, however this is a special order and not kept in stock.
Does it look real?
Until you actually touch it and pick it up, you
cannot tell it is not metal/leather/cloth etc.
What about sizes?
We ask that you provide us with you head/chest size
when ordering to ensure a good fit.
Are there any sharp edges?
All edges are rounded and smooth so they will not
cut.
Does it degrade over time?
No.
Does the paint come off?
Like any painted surface it will scratch but it
won’t flake off.
