Leather look arm cover gladiator

The gladiator leather-look arm guard is a brown leather-look forearm protector with black straps, round studs and a ring on top. What immediately stands out is the distressed, stained finish, making it look like leather that has been in the arena for years. You can wear it as a woman or man with a Roman or Greek costume during carnival, at an ancient history-themed party or at a medieval event.

Arm protection of gladiators and warriors from antiquity

Gladiators often fought in the Roman arena with a protected arm, while the rest of the upper body remained bare or lightly covered. This arm protection has therefore become one of the most recognisable elements of the gladiator look. Wide straps around the wrist and forearm are also part of the image people have of Roman soldiers and Greek warriors from antiquity. With a leather-look arm guard, you can achieve that look for your costume without heavy real protection.

How to turn your outfit into a recognisable gladiator?

You can recognise a gladiator by the combination of a tunic, a breastplate and arm protection. A red tunic with armour over it in the same distressed brown leather look allows the arm guard to blend in seamlessly. Add a golden helmet with a red plume or a Spartan helmet and take a plastic sword in your hand, and you will have the image of the arena. If you want a rougher warrior without a Roman helmet, the arm guard also suits a bare upper body with a shoulder strap and kilt.

Choose the gladiator leather-look arm guard and your Roman or Greek costume will have a battle-ready arm during carnival.
