Female brigandine for buhurt armored combat
Female brigandine is a torso armor option for full-contact armored combat where rib protection, stable fit, and clinch mobility matter. The chest shaping is designed to sit on a female body geometry without forcing the armor into the sternum area, keeping room for breathing and for a proper padded arming layer.
The layout follows European historical brigandine analogues; the build is oriented to period sources and prototypes, including well-known museum finds (often referred to as the “Wimbledon brigandine”) as a reference for plate zoning and coverage. This is not positioned as absolute reenactment accuracy, but as a practical source-based solution for modern fight use.
- Torso protection: overlapped plates distribute impact load across the body, supporting rib and centerline safety.
- Mobility: fit geometry supports shoulder movement and torso rotation; correct ride height is key for clinch work.
- Adjustability: strap system helps set circumference and positioning so the armor does not shift under hits.
- Durability: built for repeated impacts; wear items (straps/fasteners) are intended to be serviceable.
- Repairability: access to fasteners enables routine maintenance—tightening, strap replacement, and localized straightening.
For tournament gear checks, results depend on event rules, padding, edge finishing, and how the kit is assembled. This brigandine torso armor is commonly compatible with requirements across multiple formats (HMB, IMCF, ACL, etc.) when configured correctly, but no universal admission can be guaranteed.
