Platelegs

Platelegs are one of two available metal leg protection gear types, the other one being Plateskirts. Platelegs are heavier than other leg-protecting gear, but provide a superior defence against ranged or melee attacks. Platelegs are made out of different metals, ranging from Bronze to Dragon. They can be bought off of armour-selling NPC's, or created by the player himself using the Smithing skill.
