Tassets
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A single tasset by Lorenz Helmschmied, 1495
Tassets are a piece of plate armour designed to protect the upper legs. They take the form of separate plates hanging from the breastplate or faulds. They may be made from a single piece or segmented. The segmented style of tassets connected by sliding rivets produced during the 16th century is also known as almain rivets.
