Russian Plate Cuirass “Dovmont” for Full Contact

Russian plate cuirass “Dovmont” is a torso armor piece made with reference to historical sources and 14th-century Rus analogs: plate finds associated with the “Dovmont” context and period imagery/iconography. The build keeps the logic of row-assembled plates and extended coverage toward the hip line.

Protection and durability: overlapping plate rows help distribute impacts across a wider area. The fauld skirt adds coverage for the lower abdomen and hips and works together with padded under-armor to manage blunt force loads.

Mobility: segmented geometry and separated lower elements support stepping, bending, and clinch movement without constant edge binding. Shoulder plates provide coverage while keeping arm range usable when suspension and padding are set correctly.

Fit and adjustment: multiple side straps allow volume tuning for different padding thicknesses and reduce shifting during grappling. Fit relies on considered shaping and correct sizing, without implying automatic one-off personalization for every buyer.

Serviceability: straps, buckles, and hardware are replaceable as wear items; individual plates can be serviced locally if needed. Regular inspection of rivets/fasteners and post-training care improves service life.

Tournament checks: applicable for full-contact armored formats (including HMB/IMCF/ACL) provided the complete kit is assembled correctly, required zones are covered, and the setup matches the current rules of a specific event.
