Scale torso armor in a Russian style for full-contact historical combat. Overlapping plates distribute impacts across the body while keeping the torso flexible for clinch work and active footwork. Side straps let you tighten the fit over an arming jacket without choking breathing. The upper edge is shaped to keep shoulder motion usable when lifting weapons. Built for field service: damaged elements can be replaced locally by sections. Supply includes torso only.

Product description

Russian scale armor is a torso armor solution for full-contact historical combat, developed with reference to historical sources and analogs—ancient miniatures and icons, as well as scale-plate finds dated to the 13th century. The item is sold as torso protection only.

Protection and durability: the overlapping “shingle” layout helps spread impact and reduces the chance of a single plate taking the full load. Multiple fastening rows keep the set stable during clinches and sustained contact. Maintenance is practical: you can replace individual plates or a local section instead of rebuilding the whole torso.

Mobility: scale construction keeps the torso from becoming a rigid box. The upper zone is arranged to preserve shoulder travel for weapon work. For full-contact use, pair it with an adequate padded arming layer to manage shock and prevent point pressure from hardware.

Fit and adjustment: side straps provide volume tuning and secure the armor over padding. Bound edges help reduce snagging and limit wear on straps and lacing under repeated contact.

Event checks: the design can be configured toward common rule sets (HMB, ACL/IMCF, and other formats), but final compliance depends on selected parameters, condition, and the inspection decision at each event.

Use and care: wipe and dry after fights, monitor straps and fasteners, and check plates for burrs or looseness. Regular inspection keeps the armor consistent through training cycles.
