Brigandine Arms for Buhurt Full Contact

A brigandine arms set for buhurt/full contact. Overlapping plates help cover gaps during active weapon work and make the fit tolerant to different arm thickness, so strap adjustment is straightforward. The layout supports elbow flex and clinch pressure without forcing an awkward guard. Works as a basic arm solution for Western European armor kits. Note: outer material color may vary.

Product description

Brigandine arms are a practical arm-protection set built on the brigandine principle: overlapping plates under an outer cover. This construction is common in buhurt / full contact because it combines impact protection with usable mobility and a fit that tolerates different arm thickness thanks to plate overlap.

The shape and plate layout are based on historical sources and Western European prototypes. At the same time, the item is made for tournament use: edges and joints are intended for contact, and the geometry follows arm anatomy (forearm taper, elbow bend) without implying default one-off personalization.

Protection: overlapping plates reduce exposure at seams and help limit “windows” when the arm is extended or under pressure.
Mobility: segmentation keeps elbow range of motion usable for weapon handling and clinch work.
Fit: overlap plus straps gives some volume reserve and makes sizing forgiving for new fighters.
Serviceability: straps and hardware are the usual wear parts and are replaceable; the outer cover is maintainable.

Use the set as a baseline arm protection solution in Western European armor kits, paired with your preferred gloves/gauntlets and shoulder coverage. Rules vary by event and league (e.g., HMB, IMCF, local formats), so final compliance depends on the specific inspection, assembly, and safe edge finishing.

Note: outer material color may vary from photos.
