Bracers are used to protect forearms, and are own by a lot of polish horse soldiers, as well as cavalry units in many other eastern factions - like Russians, Crimean Tatars, Turks/Ottomans, Transylvanians.
In Poland it's almost a mandatory part of the equipment in such formations like Iron Cavalry and Winged Hussars and may be often found among other troops, or at least, those soldiers who can afford them, because armor of any kind costs money. Thus, it will be found among officers of dragoons, but not likely among privates from this unit.
By using bracers, our characters can deflect someone's attack - take a sword on his forearm without being hurt, to counter attack with own weapon.
Most of these bracers are simple in design, tho some might be more decorated. Some soldiers might use a type of bracers which have built-in chain-mail gloves, but it's happens rarely.
Thus, most of them - among them our heroes, like KIZERO and HALIBEK, use traditional types.
Please scroll trough the gallery below to see some examples of bracers.
