Built of High Density Polyethylene, this Tasset provides rugged protection in full contact rattan sword fighting combat or LARPing. It is intended to be hung from an arming belt to provide armor coverage vs blunt impact. Unlike integral tassets these can hang from a belt by means of two sturdy leather belt loops which can better position them adjacent to the body. The multi plate varieties are articulated on the rear with steel rivets run through two sturdy 9-11 oz strip of high grade top grain leather. The exposed face or reveal on the articulated plate is typically 5". All edges have been heat treated to give a smooth and safe rounding. This armor is entirely compression rivet free as the rivets we use are a superior splay type that grip the leather and can't disassemble. Failures are.
