What it is
This Gambeson is a versatile protective garment designed for medieval combat, reenactment, and historical fencing. Featuring a high collar and an over-the-crotch length, it provides extended protection while maintaining excellent comfort and mobility.
The sleeves are constructed from two articulated sections joined above the elbow and include underarm gussets, allowing the gambeson to follow the natural movement of the arms. Wrist slits make dressing easier, while short side vents improve comfort and freedom of movement when walking, running, or fighting.
Its carefully engineered padding system offers an excellent balance between protection, flexibility, and low weight, making it suitable for both training and competition.
