New product
Epic Armoury's Eventide Shield is shaped like a mix between the heater shields and flat-topped kite shields from the mid to late 12th century, where they were used as a simple way to protect a warrior, whether that warrior was on foot or mounted (especially in the case of the kite shields). Its appearance is based on the Norse Svartálfar and modern dark elves and has been shaped to resemble a dragon wing for intimidation. It is made of closed-cell foam with a latex coating for durability and shaped like a dragon wing for intimidation. Furthermore, it has a bouche – the cut out on the shield – for resting a spear or lance when in formation with other warriors, ensuring visibility and mobility for those around you. On the back are three leather straps to wield the shield horizontally, vertically or at a 45-degree angle.

"Earlier that day, the shield wall had held. Now, it was to be tested again. They were lined up in formation, their shields and spears in position. A cold wind cut through the air, causing Rhadza's teeth to chatter like he had a horrendous fever. The wind indicated that the gnomes had opened some sunless lands to the world below. He pointed his fingers towards the other end of the tunnel, and as one, they set off on a hunt for gnomes, silent as a viper through tall grass."

All latex-coated shields need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the 'Weapon Maintenance & Repair' section.
'Larp Inn Weapon Lube - Silicone Spray' is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.
Store your latex shield flat on its back. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your shield in a cool, dry environment.
