A Gambeson is almost indispensable for re-enactment and medieval show fighting .
The gambeson, also called Aketon,  Padded Jack or Arming Doublet was often worn underneath mail and plate armour which made the wearing of steel armour more comfortable and could absorb enemy blows therefore reducing the risk of injury.
