Iron platelegs

Iron platelegs are melee leg armour made of iron. There is no Defence requirement to wear them, as is the same with bronze armour. As such, is it recommended to skip bronze tier items and start out with iron tier items. They can be made at level 31 Smithing with 3 iron bars. Iron platelegs can also be bought from Louie's Armoured Legs Bazaar in Al Kharid or Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock.
