Ringwraith Armor and Empty Hood Cloak

Spiked gauntlets, armored boots and a voluminous cloak with hood elevated above the wearers concealed head create a silhouette to terrify Hobbits and humans alike. The elements are inspired by The Lord of the Rings Ringwraith characters, but the design focuses on comfort for the wearer, employing lightweight materials, adjustable sleaves and straps and concealed ventilation. The gauntlets combine lightweight 3D printed parts with sliding rivets and leather construction for authentic armor movement. Designed to fit over a variety of shoe types, the armored shoe covers are cut and molded from impact resistant Kydex with a TPU toe kick plate for added durability.
