The bestselling Ready for Battle Gambeson is a padded armour coat that covers the torso, abdomen, back, and upper arms. It can be worn as standalone armour or padding under mail or other types of armour. The gambeson is designed to be worn like a jacket and is fastened at the front with four leather straps featuring iron buckles. It is constructed with 100% polyester padding sandwiched between 100% heavy cotton fabric, all stitched together in vertical lines. This stitching keeps the padding in place and gives the gambeson a classic European high-medieval style. The gambeson is open under the armpits to allow breathability and ease of movement. While it features a European cut, gambesons or quilted-style armours have been used worldwide, making the Ready for Battle Gambeson a versatile and practical armour option suitable for various periods and settings.
