The word “winingas” is an Old English term that refers to leg bindings or leggings, often worn in the early medieval period by men to wrap their lower legs. Typically made of cloth or leather, these leg bindings were commonly used for both warmth and protection. The term is less commonly known today but is of interest in historical studies, especially in the context of Anglo-Saxon or Viking clothing and armour.
Designed for ease of wear and adjustment, these cotton canvas leg wraps stay securely in place, making them ideal for extended wear at outdoor events or colder weather festivals. They are a practical and versatile addition to your wardrobe, combining comfort with functional appeal. Winingas (also spelled “winagas” or “leg wraps”) were commonly used in Northern Europe during the early medieval period, particularly by Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. They were worn by men to wrap around their lower legs for warmth, protection, and support.
