TRAD Prime Armguard Viking
This armguard is handcrafted from the finest vegetable-tanned cowhide leather available. The embossing shows a motif from a sword scabbard dating back to the 11th century. It uses a leather strap for fastening, that requires ideally a 2nd person to tie it. No modern materials are used in this product for the perfect historic look and feel.
Leather is a natural product and colour variations can occur.

TRAD Prime
Handcrafted by artisans in a small leather workshop in Europe from the best and highest leather quality. TRAD Prime products boast details like intricate embossed motives which are based on real finds from the medieval times, brass elements, hand stitching, leather weaving and much more.
All our TRAD Prime and TRAD leather products are free of any nasty chemicals.
Well made and comfortable to wear and use. However, the leather string that ties it together is quite short so not ideal if you’ve got bigger arms- it also requires you to tie a knot with one hand. Replaced it with some shock cord- not exactly trad but it’s useable now.
Thank you for your taking the time to provide feedback. Regarding your comments I was hoping that our product description makes the issue you describe very clear before the purchase: “It uses a leather strap for fastening, that requires ideally a 2nd person to tie it. No modern materials are used in this product for the perfect historic look and feel.” Sizing is always difficult, but I’m glad to hear you have found a workable solution.
This is a must have if you have the matching quiver. Lovely high quality arm guard.
