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.

Huge thanks @medieval_extreme for amazing quality and customer’s service. Now I have all my swords at one place at last!
P.S. okay, not all 😬😬😯
Love the helmet, sturdy but not too heavy. I haven’t used it yet but I definitely feel well protected when wearing it. I had been looking for a helmet with a simple design like this one, I looked at all the other major Buhurt sites and just so happened to see this pop up on Medieval Extreme. It was the right price with availability. It even shipped within two weeks of ordering it.
Fantastic bit of kit and wonderfully made. Arrived in time for IMCF too
Sword is damn nice
Thank you SO much for my incredible helmet. It’s beautiful!!
Comfortable flexible fits perfectly cant wait to put them to use
