Late Gambeson

By the 15th century as weapons became lighter, faster and stronger, it became increasingly important that a fighter be more agile to stay alive. Often referred to as a "jack", this heavily padded garment provided adequate protection when worn with tall boots, a helmet and hand protection. Large, roomy shoulders allowed for superb mobility. Especially favored by the line soldier who fought in formation using pole arms. This well padded garment hangs approx. 36" and weighs a mere 1 1/2 lbs. Black only. Choose M, L or XL.
