Quilted, padded jacket to be worn under a mail shirt to maximize protection. It's a bit thinner than most padded jackets, allowing for easier movement without sacrificing too much of the protective function.
Wearing some form of padding under a mail shirt is necessary in combat. The combination provides good protection against edged weapons, effectively absorbing the force of the blow. Wearing a mail shirt without any padding at all, on the other hand, would cause severe blunt trauma.
Even though there are no archaeological evidence that points at what form of padding Vikings used, it is still safe to assume that they used something. Old texts indicate that layers of clothing were worn, and perhaps even combinations of clothing and leather (that protected against water). The Old Norse word Treyja also indicates that something was used. It translates to "jerkin" or "war-jacket".
- Material: Ramie 80%, Cotton 20%
- Filler material: Recycled wool and cotton
- Lining: Polyester
- Protective neck collar
