    Excellent fit, easy to get into and out of when side straps are undone, you can leave sides straps attached but will probably need some help getting in and out of it.

    An excellent gambeson for the price. Fitting is spot on. Comfortable and protective. If you plan to wear this under chainmail you’ll need to give yourself a break-in period.

    I love it! It feels very crisp when wearing it around. The only thing is that it looks like it was around moisture in their warehouse or store because some of the side strap buckles had signs of rust on arrival that also stained the padded garment around them. Otherwise, I love it!

    After having mine for a while, it’s held up well so far and now that it’s broken in it’s pretty easy to move in; if you have a black one do be careful rust will stain it Orange

    Fits good and looks great. I got the black one and I have no complaints. Really good quality for the price.

    Excellent gambeson. Very durable and heavy-duty. I purchased the brown one and the color is very nice. My only complaint is that the string holding the collar together is a little thin but I replaced mine with a piece of leather lace that I purchased off of here and it looks way better. Also, be sure to buy chainmail a size up if you’re wearing it over this.

    Looks great and is super thick. Sizes are accurate I’m 6’1” and 210 lbs ordered a large and it’s perfect fit. Make sure to put it on over your head with your arms up as to avoid any tearing of the sleeves. Great price.
