Elven Hema Vambraces

This listing is for a set of lower arm armor, called “Vambraces”

These vambraces are inspired by elven designs and provide full arm coverage for both sword fighting and archery.

The wrists on these vambraces are contoured to overlap the top of the hand slightly, making them slightly more comfortable and less likely to slide down the arm. For a straight-cut wrist, check out our “greenwood” vambraces.

Each vambrace is made out of 8 – 10 ounce latigo cowhide.

They are closed via two buckled straps, and can be impregnated with wax to make them much tougher, which makes them legal armor for heavy combat in many martial arts groups.

The wax impregnation does darken the leather, so bear that in mind when ordering. As an example, the burgundy vambraces in the photos are the same pair, before and after being waxed.

When ordering, include a measurement of the length of your arm from your wrist to your elbow, as well as the circumference of your arm at both ends of the length measurement.

Note* If measurements are given the goal will be to have the edges of the vambraces meet flush around your arm. If you would like them to overlap, or are planning on wearing padding underneath, be sure to factor that into your measurements.

As always, customization is available. Feel free to message me for details.
