More info about Torso
The gambeson is a key component for the comfort of your outfit, as it distributes the pressure of the armour and prevents chafing from edges and straps. Thanks to the padding in the chainmail gambeson, long events become more bearable, as the shoulders and chest do not bear as much weight. It is very important to choose a good fit so that you can breathe and move freely throughout the event.
It is important to consider three factors when choosing the right torso gambeson. The first factor is thickness; this will affect how hot you get during the event and how easy it is to put the armour on over it. The next factor is the fit; a snug fit is usually perfect for wearing under plate armour, and if you’re wearing a looser outfit, a more relaxed cut is recommended. Finally, it’s important to know what clothes you’ll be wearing; if you wear very thick or bulky clothing, this could be a problem as everything will start to feel tight, causing discomfort and restricting your movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a gambeson under plate armour?
If you want to make your event more comfortable, yes, because when wearing plate armour, your shoulders and chest bear a lot of weight, and the gambeson helps prevent chafing from the edges and straps of the armour.
How thick should a LARP gambeson be?
The best option is always to wear a gambeson that won’t be uncomfortable for long periods of time. for example, if you’re going to be cold or need padding, a thick gambeson would be ideal; on the other hand, if you’re someone who gets hot easily, a thin one is better. It also depends on how the outfit fits you: if it’s tight, a thin one is recommended, and if it’s loose and you need the outfit to be more compact, a thick one is better.
Can I wear a torso gambeson with chainmail?
Yes, it’s one of the best combinations, as the gambeson helps distribute and reduce the pressure and weight of the chainmail. Plus, aesthetically, the outfit will look more ‘put together’ and compact.
