This gambeson was designed for the Polish HEMA groups of ARMA PL and FEDER with help from Jan Chodkiewicz of Fechtschule Gdansk. It gives the best protection with the most amount of mobility. The gambeson is designed to protect from cuts and thrusts; with overlapping material at the torso and the neck.

It is tailored so that the gambeson sits at the hips comfortably. The sleeves are constructed in three pieces to allow for the best possible elbow mobility. There are deep-set sleeves and gussets in the armpits to allow for shoulder mobility. The gambeson has 3 protective layers on the shoulders and 2 protective layers across the chest. The Fechtschule gambeson is composed of 5 layers of fabric: an outer layer of linen; 2 of cotton; 1 thick, thickly woven, woollen fabric layer; and finally a very sturdy cotton layer.

The gambeson is made of linen to keep historical correctness as much as possible. Using gambeson made of linen, it is necessary to remember that this fabric is less resistant (than for example cotton) for contact with sharp elements or materials such us Velcro tape. For that reason you should be carefull using this gambeson with other protection gear.

For those of you who are especially interested in having a jacket with good resistant characteristic regardless of historical correctness, we sugest buying gambeson/jacket made of cotton, for example "AP" Fencing Jacket 350N"AP" Fencing Jacket 350N or "FG" Gambeson Basic 350N.
