Padded Armour

Whilst Chainmail is an excellent choice for stopping slicing and thrusting weapons from penetrating the body, it is not so good at dealing with the blunt force trauma that is associated with these attacks. Historically, medieval warriors would wear thickly padded protective clothing underneath their chainmail to minimise the impact of the blows that rained down on them in the heat of battle. Our range of padded armour includes authentically styled Arming Caps, Gambesons and Arming Jackets that have been developed for the re-enactment field but are also an excellent choice for LARP and theatrical/TV productions.
