Medieval Padded Armor for List Combat or Costume
Dark Victory Armory is proud to present this superior Padded Armor for your consideration. Typically worn as a layer of protection underneath hard suits and chain, padded armor distributes the force of the blow across a wider area and over time. This does much to reduce the actual impact force that the fighter will feel and can reduce or eliminate the damage from a dangerous attack. It also provides protection from the routine rubbing of armor upon the body even when not actively engaged in combat. In many situations the protective qualities of the padded armor are sufficient to be worn without a hard layer on top. This can greatly aid speed.
Beyond it's superb functionality, it also makes and excellent presentation and makes for an extremely authentic medieval/renaissance appearance when worn exposed over period clothing.
