German Augsburg Thigh & Knee Armor Pair | Buhurt HMB ACL IMCF

This Pair of Thigh Defenses (Cuisses) with Knee Defenses (Poleyns) is inspired by late 15th-century German armor from Augsburg, referencing surviving examples preserved in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This design blends museum-accurate German aesthetics with modern hard-combat durability required for Buhurt, HMB, ACL, and IMCF armored fighting.

Hand-crafted from battle-grade steel, the cuisses feature a bold German fluted silhouette with reinforced floating poleyns for maximum knee protection and articulation. The anatomical shaping enhances strike deflection while maintaining aggressive forward mobility essential in full-contact combat.

A secure leather strapping system allows proper suspension from arming points and integration with greaves and full leg harnesses. This armor is ideal for fighters seeking historical authenticity without sacrificing tournament performance.
