Epic Armourys Ranger Shortsword is a latex-hybrid weapon made from closed-cell foam over a core of solid, flexing fiberglass. It is finished with a latex coating which has been hand-painted to give it an appearance which is surprisingly close to a real sword. Hybrid-latex weapons are more durable than standard LARP weapons and their flexing core give them strength whilst allowing them to flex safely on contact. All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone which can be purchased separately. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coats flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant. Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel–NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
