Description
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.

Its very comfy, like a lil brig for my hips!
It looks awesome, and is easy to wear!
Fits really well with the boots, works great if you order the combo.
I love how comfortable they are, and the black leather looks awesome!
Very handsome, I like the fact that the heel has no metal on it.
Extremely light, super fun to use!
Well balanced, and durable. I heard longswords are hard to make well, but mine is super good and easy to use!
Really well balanced towards the hilt. Flicks great, and is super light.
Great quality to price ratio.
Good bundle if you actually fight. Both feel solid enough for armored combat. I like having both options in the same kit because you never know what weapon will feel better for a specific case.
