A scaled gorget type 2 is used to protect the neck while participating in medieval full-contact battles. Usually a scaled gorget is used with helmets that do not have a chain mail aventile. The front of the neck on the gorget is not protected by plates for ease of movement of the head, but plates can be added if necessary.

Product description

Scaled gorget type 2 is an articulated plating neck guard designed for historical full contact combat. Intended for use with helmets that lack a mail aventail. The plated design balances protection and mobility, with options to add plates to the front if needed. Based on historical references to plated neck protection. description

Scaled gorget type 2 is an articulated plated neck guard designed for use in full contact historical battles. Its purpose is to protect the neck and upper chest area from impacts and weapon strikes, especially when paired with helmets that do not include a mail aventail. The plated construction is inspired by historical examples of segmented neck protection.

The design deliberately leaves the front of the neck without rigid plates by default to reduce restrictions during head movement, while still allowing additional frontal plates to be added for enhanced protection. This modular approach lets fighters adjust the level of coverage according to their style of engagement and preferences on the field.

Plate geometry is engineered to reduce snag points and improve durability during repeated impacts, while maintaining a secure fit that does not restrict normal movement. The articulated nature of the plates supports head turns and shoulder alignment, preserving mobility essential in dynamic combat.

The gorget integrates with a variety of helmets and shoulder armor interfaces, making it flexible within a full armour system. The historical basis of the design emphasizes practical performance rather than claims of full bespoke tailoring, reflecting authentic concepts of neck defence from historical armour traditions.

Modularity and serviceability support repairability during maintenance or after hard use. Individual plates can be replaced or adjusted as needed, making the scaled gorget type 2 a technically suitable component for training and competitive contexts where protection, mobility, and longevity are key.
