Description
Medieval Viking Padded Gambeson With Leather Trim Ver.2:
\nThis Viking‑Era Padded Gambeson with Leather Trim – Version II is based on early medieval defensive clothing worn from the 9th to 12th centuries across Northern Europe. Such padded garments formed the foundation of a warrior’s protection, serving both as stand‑alone armor and as cushioning beneath mail or plate harness.
\n
\nArmor Arena recreates this timeless piece using either 100% cotton canvas or Linen fabric—both historically appropriate materials prized for durability and breathability. The outer shell can be ordered in a broad palette of colours.
\n
\nFor inner comfort, a soft light‑cotton lining ensures breathability even during extended wear. The gambeson is padded with your choice of 2, 3 or 4 layers of resilient polyester wadding, depending on the level of protection and flexibility required.
\n
\nDecorative leather edging reinforces stress areas and adds historical authenticity reflecting period craftsmanship. Each piece is cut and stitched by skilled artisans to maintain the best balance between historical style, comfort and usability for today’s re‑enactors, LARP participants and film or theatre professionals.
\n
\nArmor Arena proudly delivers high‑quality handmade armor wear at the lowest price guaranteed, ensuring professional finish and long‑lasting value for every customer.
