Padded Clothing Worn Under Armor

Under armor in full-contact fighting you need padded protection: it absorbs part of the impact, spreads load from plates and straps, and reduces chafing. This category includes gambesons, pourpoints, chausses, quilted coifs, plus soft pieces for helmet and hands—your base layer for comfort and stable armor placement.

Patterning and quilting are built around anatomy and fighting posture: room through shoulders and chest, clearance for a gorget, freedom at elbows and knees, and zones for suspension and belts. The size range and geometry aim for a correct fit without bulk, while leaving space for thin underlayers and seasonal setup.

For regular use, durability and serviceability matter. Multi-layer packs, dense fabrics, and quilting keep the padding from shifting during clinches and falls. Tie points and laces are made to be replaced, and high-wear areas are accessible for repair and re-stitching so you can maintain the kit across hard training cycles.

Materials and construction are aligned with common tournament inspection expectations for armored combat formats (including HMB/IMCF and local rules), while final approval always depends on the event’s regulations and the marshal’s check. Shapes and detailing follow historical references and analog prototypes for the chosen region and period, keeping the layer functional in combat and coherent in look.
