Description

Meet the Birgen Body Armour, a handcrafted testament to valor and leadership. This armour embodies the courage and might of ancient warlords.

Like all creations from Black Raven Armours, the Birgen is designed for real-world battle scenarios. Its layered leathers and fitted, contoured shape provide superior protection, absorbing blows while hugging your body for comfort. And let me assure you, these armours aren’t just for show – they radiate a sense of combat readiness that’s truly palpable.

The Birgen Body Armour, befitting any Norse Lord of War, is one of our most practical designs. Crafted as a full-length body armour, it accommodates chest sizes ranging from 40 to 48 inches & 48 to 56 inches. But this armour isn’t just about performance – it’s a work of art.

Every Birgen armour is carefully hand cut, embossed, stitched, riveted, dyed, and antiqued. The result? A stunning piece adorned with embossed, gilded panelling and detailed edge embossing that adds a touch of elegance to its rugged appeal.

But what sets the Birgen apart is its durability. With extensive edge binding on all potentially vulnerable areas, it ranks among our toughest armours ever.

The Birgen Body Armour is more than a protective gear – it’s a symbol of leadership, a nod to Viking mythology, and a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. Wear it, and channel the strength of the ancient Norse Lords of War.
