The infantry gambeson was designed to provide extensive protection, enveloping the fighter's body in resilient textile armor. Made of layers of padded fabric, often filled with materials such as wool or cotton, it absorbed the impacts of sword and lance blows, offering vital defense on the battlefield.
The word "gambeson" has an interesting origin. It is derived from the Old French word "gambais," meaning "padded doublet." Also known as a doublet or jack, this medieval garment is an essential element for any historical reenactment or live-action role-playing event.
Crafted from fine jute on the exterior and soft cotton on the interior, this gambeson provides both comfort and durability during your historical reenactments. Genuine brown leather laces and attachments add an authentic touch, while fully laced sides allow for a customized fit for each wearer. Additionally, detachable sleeves offer added versatility, allowing this gambeson to adapt to various combat scenarios and everyday wear in the context of your historical reenactment.
