Raven Viking Woolen Leg Wraps: Practicality and Protection with Historical Detail

Material: 80% wool and 20% nylon

Leg wraps, or winingas, were an essential part of Viking and early medieval attire, serving both functional and protective purposes. Worn by warriors and travellers alike, they offered leg protection during long marches and added warmth in colder climates. These wraps, commonly seen in Viking and Anglo-Saxon clothing, were both practical and an opportunity for subtle ornamentation.

The "Raven" Viking Leg Wraps are crafted from a durable blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon at 320 GSM (grams per square meter, indicating fabric weight) in a classic herringbone twill weave. This blend offers both strength and flexibility, providing durability while remaining comfortable for extended wear. The herringbone twill is known for its resilience and flexibility, making it ideal for activities that require long-lasting wear and ease of movement.

Secured with solid brass raven hooks, these leg wraps not only stay in place but also add an authentic and decorative element to Viking or Anglo-Saxon attire. The brass hooks, shaped in the likeness of ravens—a symbol often associated with Norse mythology—add a historical touch while ensuring a secure fit.

Adjustable to fit a variety of leg sizes, the one size wraps offer versatility and ease of use for modern reenactors, LARP enthusiasts, and historical costume aficionados. Whether worn for battle reenactments, long marches, or as a traditional accessory, these leg wraps combine historical accuracy with practical comfort, making them an essential addition to any Viking or medieval outfit.
