    This item feels great! I haven’t tried it with my armor yet but it’s not too thick and it doesn’t feel like im a marshmallow.

    I wanted a thinner, lightweight gambeson to replace my heavier House of Warfare one. It most certainly is thinner and lighter, in fact there is no internal padding at all (the outer shell is tough, and the liner is light) It is plenty comfortable underneath my chainmail and serves it’s purpose as part of my costume (wouldn’t be my first choice if I was actually going into battle). It is baggier than my HoW gambeson, which makes it easier to get in and out of, and under the weight of mail, does not appear baggy (worn by itself, it does appear to be “too big” though the sleeves come down to my wrists, and the bottom reaches my knees). Time will tell how comfortable it is after a full, sunny day at the fair. Overall, it is precisely what I wanted for an upgrade (though I do wish it was a bit more form-fitting if I wanted to wear it without chain mail). The quality is spot on for the price
