    Very large When I first received these they looked BIG ! They are large measuring 17 inches in circumference , my calf is 15 inches in circumference which happens to be the average measurement for an American male . So people with average or smaller calf will require extensive modification for a proper fit . Armorer required !

    Clunky but sturdy I’ve owned this pair of cased greaves for a couple years. I am 6’3″ 185lbs with a 15″ calf circumference, and I made these work for me by wearing them over thick 8/9oz leather fighting boots and gluing a strip of padded leather along the lower lip where the greaves rest on your foot. I fight HEMA, SCA, Amtgard, and Dagorhir in these and they only ever made sense in large SCA melees otherwise they were too cumbersome and cut into the top of my foot due to thier weight. Pros: they look pretty from a few yards away, and the 16ga steel allowed me to withstand rattan glaive blows to the leg without batting an eye. For the price point, I would recommend these (with heavy modification) but for practical/historical reasons I would stear clear of this one next time.

    These are very good for this price point. There are better ones put there custom made for 10x the price but these are decent. The fit is good on me 6’3” 240lbs.
