Knight Gorget Armor | 18 Gauge Steel Medieval Neck Guard for LARP & Training

Description

Wear this Knight Gorget Armour, an accurate recreation of late mediaeval neck protection, and take to the field with confidence.

Forged from 18 gauge mild steel, this gorget shields the throat and upper chest without the added bulk of a bevor. Its layered, flared design is crafted to deflect strikes while allowing excellent mobility and freedom of head movement.

Weighing only 1 kg, it balances reliable defense with long-wear comfort. The polished steel finish offers both historical authenticity and a bold, knightly appearance, while adjustable leather straps ensure a snug, customizable fit over arming garments or beneath a full harness.

This gorget pairs perfectly with helmets, chainmail aventails, or plate armor, making it an essential addition for LARP combat, live training, theatrical productions, or historical displays.

Historical Inspiration, The gorget evolved in the 14th–15th centuries, as knights sought improved protection for vulnerable neck and collarbone areas. Unlike the heavier bevor, this style provided effective coverage while keeping the wearer agile, a vital balance in both tournaments and battlefields.
