Description

The Advanced Titanium Gorget protects the throat, collarbones, sides, and back of the neck while keeping the head free to turn and move during armored combat.

TL;DR

• Lightweight titanium neck protection at 930 g (2.05 lb)
• 1.5 mm (0.06 in) VT-1 titanium plates with reinforcing ribs for extra rigidity
• Protects the throat, collarbones, sides, and back of the neck
• Segmented construction preserves head and neck mobility
• Padded cotton base with riveted leather washers for reliable plate attachment
• Adjustable with two leather straps
• Two sets of mounting holes for attaching pauldrons

Instead of relying on a single rigid shell, the gorget combines multiple titanium plates with a padded cotton base. As a result, the protection follows the neck and shoulder area more naturally. This matters during grappling, clinches, and fast changes of direction, where excessive bulk around the neck can quickly become uncomfortable.

Each titanium plate also features reinforcing ribs for increased rigidity. The formed profile makes the plates harder to flex under load without requiring additional material and unnecessary weight.

Advanced Titanium Gorget Construction

The gorget uses 13 titanium plates around the sides and back of the neck. In addition, larger overlapping plates extend across the collarbone and upper chest area. The raised rear and side sections provide additional coverage around the base of the neck.

The plates are mounted to a padded cotton base with rivets and leather washers. Therefore, the load around each attachment point is distributed over a larger area of fabric. This creates a more reliable connection and helps reduce wear around the rivets during regular training and fighting.

Protection Without Unnecessary Neck Bulk

At 930 g (2.05 lb), titanium keeps the gorget relatively light despite its extensive coverage. More importantly, the segmented construction leaves room for natural head movement. You can turn and tilt your head without fighting against a large rigid collar.

The two front leather straps let you adjust how closely the gorget sits around the neck and upper chest. Meanwhile, the shoulder sections include dedicated mounting holes for pauldrons. This allows the gorget to work as part of a complete upper-body armor setup rather than as an isolated piece.

The result is a practical solution for fighters who want substantial throat, collarbone, and neck coverage while keeping their upper armor mobile and compact.
