Cotton Gambeson and Padded Pants Set
Complete protection, built for hard use. This bundle pairs our cotton gambeson with matching padded pants. Both use a high-density cotton outer shell and wool-based natural batting to absorb strikes. A soft cotton lining in the gambeson improves comfort, while the pants feature chausses-style coverage and secure lacing for a stable fit under armor. Built for Buhurt International, IMCF, and ACS formats.

Why this set works
Matched materials and padding give you consistent protection from shoulders to ankles. In addition, the high-density cotton outer layer is more durable than linen, so it handles repeated use and friction well. However, cotton runs hotter in long training sessions and summer events. The gambeson stabilizes your vambraces and breathes where it matters, while the pants protect the thighs, knees, and insteps and hide modern sport protection for a cleaner medieval look. As a result, the full set shortens kit-up time and improves comfort in mass battles.
Best use of the cotton gambeson and padded pants set
- Buhurt and mass battles (Buhurt International)
- 1v1 duels (BI, IMCF, ACS)
- Training under brigandine, mail, or plate
Care
- Air dry fully after sessions and store dry
- Spot clean with mild soap and avoid high heat
Durable, supportive, and tournament-ready. Choose the Cotton Gambeson and Padded Pants Set for reliable impact absorption, secure fit, and under-armor comfort. Add it to your kit and feel the difference.































It’s good. Feels a bit flimsy even though I know they hold up. This really comes down to personal preference. Love that it came in the full kit and made suiting up from box to fight very simple.
I REALLY wish this had have come with proper instructions for adjusting the size, and any recommendations for packing/storing gear. It’s a pain in the ass, and obviously very heavy. The bag really needs to be adjusted so it fits properly. I may have a better recommendation once I learn to adjust it and pack better….but perhaps 2 rolling suitcases would have been a better investment. Quality is fantastic though! LOVE the bag as a hiking bag for sure.
Eh, wish the leather didn’t get ruined so quickly with use, but it’s to be expected. Gauntlets are pretty tough on the handles.
Guys, I have my own kit now! It’s so great to just be able to put everything on. Fits like a glove. I was worried that i’d lost some weight and things wouldn’t fit, but everything is perfect. Only issue- I KNOW they don’t have arming points on the gambeson, just wish they did. Otherwise, everything was packaged perfectly, fits perfectly, and looks awesome.
Amazing quality
Awesome fit amazing quality!
I Highly recommend ME for any of your Buhurt needs:)
