This flexible and lightweight padded gambeson and trousers are manufactured according to your unique measurements and requires no ‘breaking in’, like current off-the-peg equivalents available in the UK.

This padded kit is machine quilted as a part of the construction process, allowing this feature of the garment to become part of the design; seams and lines follow the movement and joints of the body working with you when fighting from the first day you wear it.

Key features:

Custom manufacture - made to measure

Light weight fabric and construction - more breathable and comfortable.

Plenty of room and fabric in the crotch armpits and joints, great for sprinting and leg movement

Padded knees and elbows for additional cushioning

Adjustable waist, arm and leg ties

High neckline with tie fastneed front opening
