There is a lot to take in when you first look at the Lorica Segmentata, so it is best to explore it one glorious inch at a time. This museum quality piece looks as great on as it does on display. It is one of the top recommended pieces for SCA combat and reenactment because there are only a few of its kind made from 16-gauge steel. This means that this Lorica can offer protection that others simply canÕt.

The 16-gauge high carbon A-36 mild steel that has been used in its creation is heavily articulated virtually everywhere to allow for a full range of motion. Buffalo Horn leather straps are provided on the Lorica Segmentata which are unparalleled in their strength and will not break. The accents are not simply electro-plated either; they are made from real C-854 brass and will polish to a mirror finish to complement the shine of the rest of the piece.

The Lorica Segmentata weighs 28 pounds and fits up to a 40-inch chest. This is a high quality piece the will last for many years. Even the straps are riveted so they wonÕt break lose during reenactment.
