Short, sleeveless gambesons

Freedom and resistance on the battlefield

Short gambesons and sleeveless gambesons were essential pieces for those seeking mobility and protection in the Middle Ages. Their design, whether short-sleeved to leave the arms freer or completely sleeveless to ensure maximum agility, made them perfect allies for soldiers who needed to balance defense and speed.

Padded protection and comfort

Although lighter than long gambesons, these variants maintained a padded structure capable of absorbing blows and cuts. They were worn under chain mail or even as a standalone garment in warm climates. Both the short sleeves and the absence of them allowed the warrior to wield his sword, spear, or shield more freely, without sacrificing defense.
