Why fighters choose this gambeson
The dense linen shell resists wear from steel and clinches. The wool padding spreads impact, so you feel fewer peak hits. Inside, cotton lining keeps you comfortable during long lists. Leather cuffs lock your vambraces in place. Forearm lacing lets you dial in the fit for different vambrace setups.
Built for buhurt and historical tournaments
This gambeson works under plate, brigandine, or mail. The enlarged armpit zone and breathable fabric help you throw shots, grapple, and raise shields without binding. Arming points arrive with laces in the box, so you can stitch them to match your harness.

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.
Really useful upgrade if your leg armor tends to pull the belt down. The lendenier feels light but supportive, and the suspenders make the whole setup much more stable when moving. I also like that it has several arming points, so it’s easier to adjust the height of the leg armor instead of constantly fixing it between rounds. A solid, practical piece of gear for buhurt training and fighting.
Fantastic boots, made custom to my measurements. The fit is perfect and they’re surprisingly comfortable. Would absolutely recommend these boots to anyone interested in competing in Buhurt!
Top quality, love it
You guys rocked it on this brig. It’s so much lighter than any one I’ve ever seen before. Amazing work
Very comfy! ideal fit and arrived much earlier than the estimated delivery date. Excellent customer service too.
Excellent little bit of kit. Easy to put together, and sufficiently chunky for the job.
