| Alchemy Armory
is owned
and operated by Dale Roberts, known in the Society for Creative
Anachronism
(SCA) as Dale Wyn of Anglesey. Dale has been making steel armor for the
SCA and movies since 1991, and saw a need for a light-weight, durable
and
inexpensive alternative. Dale's suits have won several awards in the
past,
including "Best in Show" at the 1998 CANvention, and "Best
Artizan"
at the 1999 Ad Astra. As well, Dale's work can be seen in
the documentary "Prince and the Grail", and the TV series "Tales
from the Neverending Story ". At Alchemy Armory, we
believe
when you see our armor in battle, you will agree that it is the best in
its field. |

At Alchemy
Armory our
goal is to create armor that people will love to wear and fight in.
With
this goal in mind, we've created light, durable armor that is easy to
maintain
and wear, and is fun to fight in. All armor is made from
resilient
1/8" to 1/4" thick High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic with a
smooth
finish. This exceeds SCA standards for rigid material, and is
approximately
1/2 to1/3rd the weight of 16 ga steel. This reduction in weight results
in a great increase in speed, as well as enabling the fighter to stay
on
the field far longer due to reduced fatigue. All armor comes fully
strapped, ready to pad and fight. |
