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.

Why these are better than the other gauntlets:
– no straps between your palm and the weapon, giving superior grip. This means less effort to hold onto weapons over many fights and harder to be disarmed.
– leather on cuffs extends past the metal. Makes them easier to repair and increases comfort with short vambraces.
Also well made, with deep pockets for ends of fingers and thumb
Cant wait to put them to use look and fit perfectly
