SPES “FG” Gambeson

Our SPES Gambeson is specially designed for ARMA and FEDER. It has a special system of layers which guarantees maximum protection and mobility, including protection against stabs and cuts, using the minimal amount of material. The torso and the neck have overlaps which protect from thrusts. The gambeson is tailored in a way that the lower part sits on the hips. To ensure shoulder mobility, SPES use special deep-set sleeves as well as gussets in the armpits. This model was made in cooperation with “Fechtschule Gdansk” and Jan Chodkiewicz.

The gambeson is made of linen to ensure historical correctness. When using a linen gambeson, be aware that linen is less resistant than other materials, eg cotton, for contact with sharp elements or materials such as Velcro. For that reason, you should be careful using this gambeson with other protective gear.
If you’d prefer having a jacket with good resistant characteristic regardless of historical correctness, we recommend the “AP” Fencing Jacket 350N, “AP” Fencing Jacket 350N, or “FG” Gambeson Basic 350N.
