Description
The Couters elbow caps are crafted from durable 16 gauge steel, for event and costume use. The polished mirror finish gives them a striking look, making them visually appealing.
Historically, elbow couters were an important part of plate armor, to protect the elbow joint with flexibility. They were used by knights during the medieval period, for mobility and protection.
These Couters elbow caps are designed for LARP, and light combat use. The 16 gauge steel is durable with managable weight, making them suitable for extended wear during events. The back of the armor is polished to help prevent rusting and improve longevity.
Equipped with genuine leather straps and steel buckles, these steel couters ensure a secure and adjustable fit. The straps keep the armor firmly in place during movement, making them reliable for use. A light oil coating is applied to protect against rust during shipping and storage, which should be wiped off before first use.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Wipe off the protective oil layer before first use
- Clean with a dry cloth after each use
- Apply light oil occasionally to prevent rust
- Store in a dry place away from moisture
- Avoid exposure to humidity
Note: `Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in finish, polish, or detailing may occur.

These Medieval Steel Couters truly exceeded my expectations! Worn during our recent reenactment, they held up beautifully. Their robust build provided excellent protection while retaining a comfortable fit thanks to the adjustable laces. Even after hours of activity, they showed minimal wear, demonstrating exceptional durability. The polished finish added an authentic touch that impressed everyone. A minor downside is that they can be slightly heavy for newcomers, but once you’re used to them, they’re fantastic!
