Product description

The first documented use of the gambeson dates to the late 11th–early 12th century AD, although gambesons were likely already in use during the early Middle Ages. Wear the gambeson on its own or beneath a hauberk. Under chainmail, it protected the body from the direct impact of blows. Hauberks were sometimes so thick and tough that they could even provide protection against arrows fired with low draw weight. This type of gambeson is modeled after the one depicted in the Morgan Bible from 1250. Gambesons remained popular into the 14th century, after which a different style resembling a padded pourpoint was introduced.

This arming gambeson is suitable for reenactment battles. Wear it under armor or a hauberk. Made from cotton with a polyester filling, it comes in white (natural) and black. The gambeson is approximately 12 mm thick.
