Redzone Traditional Leather Arm Guard

A classic-style protective accessory engineered for traditional archers, providing a reliable barrier between the forearm and the bowstring during the shot sequence.

The Redzone Traditional Leather Arm Guard is specifically designed for users of longbows and recurve hunter bows. Unlike modern tactical arm guards, this model focuses on a heritage aesthetic and functional simplicity. It is constructed from a heavy-duty leather panel that provides the necessary stiffness to deflect high-tension bowstrings without transferring significant impact to the skin. The guard uses a three-strap configuration with adjustable elastic cords, allowing for a customisable tension that remains comfortable during extended shooting sessions or while wearing outdoor layers.

Key Technical Features

• Durable Leather Construction: Crafted from thick, treated leather to provide a solid protective surface that resists wear from repeated string contact.

• Three-Strap Security: Utilises three adjustable elastic straps to ensure the guard remains firmly in place without sliding down the forearm.

• Traditional Design: Features a classic shape and finish that complements timber bows and traditional archery gear sets.

• Universal Ambidextrous Fit: The symmetrical design allows the guard to be worn on either the left or right forearm, catering to both right-handed and left-handed archers.

• Tension Adjustment: The elastic cord system allows for quick on-the-fly adjustments to accommodate bare skin or bulky winter clothing sleeves.

• Ventilated Comfort: The natural breathability of leather combined with the open-strap design helps reduce sweat buildup compared to full-wrap synthetic sleeves.
