Eastern combat robe with plates for buhurt fights
Eastern combat robe is a torso armor format commonly associated with Mongol-Tatar warriors. The build is oriented on historical sources and reliable historical analogs: a layered soft shell and internal reinforcement with metal plates.
This model uses oversized plates and overlapping zones to improve coverage across ribs and upper torso. That approach supports real-world durability for buhurt and full contact armored combat by spreading impact and reducing local deformation risk in key areas.
The geometry is designed for functional fit over a padded underlayer: it accounts for body proportions and shoulder range of motion so you can raise arms, clinch, and work weapons without fighting the armor. From an эксплуатаtion standpoint it is serviceable: fasteners are accessible for inspection, and damaged elements can be replaced without rebuilding the entire garment.
About tournament checks: the design is typically configured to meet common armored combat safety requirements (including HMB and other formats), but final approval depends on the specific event rules and the chosen configuration.
