Medieval Long Gambeson

Medieval Long Gambeson – Quilted Armor Padding for Battle & Reenactment

A true warrior never entered battle without layers of protection—and among the most essential was the Long Gambeson. Worn over basic underclothing, this padded garment served as the first major line of defense and remains a must-have piece for any reenactor, LARPer, or medieval enthusiast.

Designed as quilted armor, this gambeson forms a crucial barrier between your skin and heavier armors such as steel plate, leather, or chainmail. By keeping metal from rubbing directly against the body, it greatly increases comfort during extended wear. Its thick padding also absorbs and disperses impact, helping reduce the force of strikes so you can stay in the fight longer.

Crafted with a diamond-stitched pattern, the gambeson maintains flexibility while keeping the padding securely in place. The front is fitted with three durable buckled straps, allowing for easy adjustment and a secure, authentic medieval look.

Features:

• Provides essential padding under plate, leather, or mail armor

• Diamond-stitched quilting for durability and mobility

• Three front buckled straps for easy fastening

• Enhances comfort while reducing impact from blows

• Ideal for reenactment, LARP, cosplay, or stage performance

Add this classic piece of medieval protection to your gear and experience battle-ready comfort the way real warriors once did.
