Product description

The earliest documented use of the gambeson dates from the late 11th - early 12th century AD. However, it is likely that gambeson were already used in the early Middle Ages. The gambeson can be worn both loosely and under the chainmail shirt. Under the chainmail shirt, it provides the body protection against the impact of blows directly to the body. Chainmail shirts were sometimes so thick and tough that they offered protection in themselves against arrows fired with a low poundage. This type of gambeson is made according to the model shown in the Morgan Bible from 1250. They remained popular until the 14th century, after which a different type of gambeson, which resembled a quilted pourpoint, was introduced

This gambeson is suitable for re-enactment fights and can be worn under an armour or chainmail shirt. It is made of cotton with a polyester filling. This gambeson has a thickness of 12 mm.
