This auction includes a PAIR of cops, that means TWO. These elbow cops are designed specifically for SCA heavy combat. Made of a glass fiber reinforced, nearly indestructible, injection molded nylon that delivers excellent protection. We have the entire remaining run of these and are happy to provide them to the fighting public. The complex curved dome on each side means that they provide a great degree of protection.
Each cop weighs 4.8 ounces (136 grams) and delivers rigid protection similar to steel without the greater weight. This style uses a reinforcing rib in the center and along with edged and is the base plate used for the articulated knees. Delivering superior protection in a practical and attractive alternative to conventional armor materials, this provides cutting edge coverage for those seeking to keep their gear as light as possible without compromising on safety. Ideal for high mobility fighters and combat archery.
In appearance, they feature a smooth black surface made to resemble leather. In form they have a nice deep pocket for safety and may be suitable for some small/medium fighters to wear as knees. They're specifically designed and manufactured for SCA combat, with thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours invested in design, mold costs, and prototype runs. If you haven't seen one, you haven't seen anything like it.
