Visby Lamellar Torso Armor for Full Contact

Torso lamellar inspired by finds associated with the Visby area (Sweden). Built from a large number of small overlapping plates for dense coverage with functional flex. The segmented build is easy to service: damaged plates and lacing can be replaced in sections without stripping the whole armor. Geometry is tuned for clinch work and weapon handling, prioritizing rib and abdomen coverage.

Product description

Visby-style lamellar armor is a torso protection piece based on historical analogs and source-driven references connected to finds from the Visby area (Sweden). The build uses many small overlapping plates to create dense coverage while keeping the shell flexible enough for buhurt / full contact movement.

In armored combat, lamellar works where you need both protection and mobility: the overlap spreads impact across multiple elements, and the segmented structure “moves” with breathing, bends, and torso rotation. The design is also resilient in use—local damage is typically limited to a section rather than the whole body piece.

Torso protection: tight plate overlap across chest, flanks, and abdomen, aimed at common contact zones in clinch and shield pressure.
Mobility: lamellar flex is practical for rotations, forward lean, and active arm work compared to rigid mono-shell solutions.
Fit and sizing: proportions and geometry are developed with anatomy in mind (ribcage shape, waist line, sitting over padding) without implying automatic fully bespoke tailoring.
Serviceability: section-by-section lacing/assembly supports plate swaps and quick repairs; maintenance is straightforward for training cycles.

Regarding event checks: this construction is suitable for full contact armored combat, but acceptance depends on the specific ruleset and the organizer’s inspection (edges, fastenings, coverage, and other safety criteria).
