Cuirass
This article is devoted to the type of armour known as a cuirass. For details of cavalry wearing cuirasses go to cuirassier. For information about cuirass ventilation, see the article about the iron lung Cuirass (French cuirasse, Latin coriaceus, made of leather, from corium, the original breastplate being of leather), the plate armour, is formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armour, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armour, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armour appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. The corslet (Fr. corselet, diminutive of the Fr. corps, body), a comparatively light cuirass, is more strictly a breastplate only. Elizabeth I of England often wore a cuirass.

Kirys
Kirys – część  zbroi płytowej, ochraniająca korpus.Na kirys składają się dwie części – osłaniające pierś (napierśnik) oraz plecy (naplecznik). Początkowo kirys wyrabiany był ze specjalnie utwardzanej skóry, Grecy wytwarzali z brązu tzw. kirys torsowy (odzwierciedlenie ludzkiego torsu), ostatecznie ten element zbroi wytwarzano z żelaza. Kirysy stosowano już od starożytności, w Polsce znany jest kirys karacenowy (używany od XV wieku), u schyłku XVI w. na zachodzie Europy dominowały tzw. kirysy kamizelkowe.
