In medieval times, it was often made from leather, bronze, or iron. Yet, it emerged way before that and was commonly combined with other elements. In roleplay, it also attaches to pauldrons and tassets for full torso coverage in battle, providing the bearer with effective protection and confidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnights stopped using breastplates for some time, from around 1000 AD to 1340 AD. Instead, they preferred mail or the coat of plates. Solid plates came back in Europe in the form of an upper breastplate for about a century. Interestingly enough, these pieces of armor also carried significant cultural and religious meaning. Later, they evolved into modern bulletproof vests. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLARP breastplates are made from different materials. Some closely resemble the original and come in steel, while others are lighter and less stiff, like polyurethane body armor.

It should be sturdy and made from high-quality materials. Polyurethane is a modern equivalent of steel in body armor that can be comfortable and serve the bearer for years ahead. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour role and organizer rules shape the choice, too.

Although polyurethane LARP body armor doesn’t require constant cleaning and extra care, it can benefit from regular maintenance.
