From the outside, they just look like ordinary, heavily broken-in leather wraps or bindings, perfect for a trying to blend into a crowd without drawing the attention of wealthy merchants or city guards.
The interior side of the weathered leather features vertical, double-stitched slots. This is where the thin, flexible bars of high-density lead are kept perfectly balanced against the forearms and shins.
Knotted at the top of each wrap is a prominent, tactile cord loop. If the wearer needs to shed the weights instantly for a sudden burst of natural movement, quick release cords can be pulled to instantly unlace the guards.
Weight:
The Ballast: 12 lbs total (divided evenly as 3 lbs per limb).
The Shrouds (Leather & Cordage): 3 lbs total for the heavy-duty, reinforced leather construction, buckles, and thick braided quick-release rope cords.
The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are made of leather that has been stiffened by being boiled in oil. The rest of the armor is made of softer and more flexible materials.
