Greaves are made of cold rolled steel with a thickness of 1.5 mm. They have an anatomical shape and so it is very easy to wear and to use them. Greaves were binding part of the armour of many troops, including Western Europe knights, Roman legioners and centurions. They were widely used by cavalry to protect legs and heels while riding a horse.

Greaves are equipped with leather belts and are fastened easily with the help of steel or plate buckles.
