The Small Steel Adam Spaulders are well suited to being worn over chainmail or leather armour pieces. The flexible lamellae and smaller size of this shoulder armour ensure it will not encumber your movements in battle. The steel spaulders feature a bright metal finish and corrugated detailing along the rims, providing a clean, classic appearance to the LARP armour. Spaulders developed during the 1400s, making them a great way to add a medieval look to your warrior ensemble. Consider wearing these metal spaulders with a gambeson or other arming wear for increased comfort. This Adam shoulder armour easily fits with the Steel Adam Gorget (MY100048). Please note that this item must be worn with a gorget.

A must have for shorter framed knights. Belt straps work.

Got this Friday. Though I was hoping to order the Large Adam Spaulders, they were out if stock, so I ordered these instead. Don’t worry, these are far from small, the shoulder plate adequately covers the shoulder and the lames cover almost all of the upper arm. Though I plan on ordering the Large size later on, these are very nice. They remain secure, they do not inhibit movement too much, and they are a great quality for the price!

These fit great on my 5’6″ muscular frame. I wear a padded gambeson underneath and there is plenty of belt strap length for my arms. I have these attached to my Markward Gorget with no issues – I can lift my weapons without any hindrance in range of motion. Love these!

Very lightweight spaulders to hang from a gorget to protect your shoulders. Works well with the Adam gorget.

I got these to connect my Steel Elias gorget and arms since I wasn’t a fan of the simple spaulders of that set. These work beautifully and have excellent articulation. I have some friends who have spaulders that lock out before they reach a 90 degree angle and these don’t impede me when I have my full suit on. I’m 5’9″ and these come down to just below the middle of my biceps. Excellent price for quality product.
