Gambeson - RFB

Gambeson - RFB

This bestselling Ready for Battle Gambeson is a padded armor coat covering the torso, abdomen, back and upper arms. It can be worn on its own or serve as essential padding under mail or armor. The gambeson is donned like a jacket and closed on the front with four leather straps with iron buckles.

Thick enough to serve as its own armor, this sturdy gambeson is constructed with 100% polyester padding sandwiched between 100% heavy cotton, all stitched together in vertical lines. The stitching keeps the padding in place and mimics a classic European high-medieval style. The gambeson is open under the armpits to allow the wearer to breathe and have ease movement.

Though of European cut, gambeson or quilted-style armors have seen world-wide use since antediluvian times, making the Ready for Battle Gambeson a great basic armor with a range of possibilities regardless of time and place.
