Lyst ready Ultra-light Gambeson

Ultra-light weight and shorter length padded jacket designed specifically for medieval combat sport. Based on historical patterns with a modern twist. We tailor for women too, no extra ties and loops to catch in armour, just tailored to fit you.

Do you struggle with heat build up during combat? This is the gambeson for you.

Do you travel to international events, are weight limitations a problem? Ultra-light is under 1kg and packs in a small space.

Do you need to pack your gear soon after use? Is your gambeson normally damp for hours? Ultra-light is super fast drying, ready to pack and go.

This gambeson features breathable and durable fabrics. The super fast drying is achieved through the use of technical lining fabric designed for sport. Akin to the rash guard, this lining feels super silky and wicks moisture away from the skin. Quilting is through a single layer of fast drying, lightweight wadding, which is removed from the inside of the elbows and under arms to prevent bunching. The sleeves are designed for maximum mobility using a historical grande assiette sleeve head with ergonomic elbows. The outer shell is highly durable drill. Front closure with concealed zip.

Ultra-light gambesons come with our Armour Attachment System as standard on the shoulders and arms, removing the need for arming points.

Customisation and sizing is available through our Made to Order product.
