Thrand and Eldgrim test different sword and spear techniques against gambeson or cloth armor to see what damage could be done through this very tough historical armor used since the earliest seat of civilization and the invention of textiles. They explain how they believe that cloth gained value for its true protective qualities against sharp pointed and edged weapons not just fashion. So sit back grab an ale or mead wile Thrand and Eldgrim try all sorts of techniques with 13th century Type XIII sword, 10th century Viking Sword and middle age bronze spears. They test the cast blow as well as over arm spear slide or throw and many others. This is all comes to an exciting conclusion with what was most effective against cloth armor or gambeson. The Gambeson used was same one used to stop 50# draw bow with bodkin. Bolted Trinity Weave Maille Vs. 70 Bow Test plus Gambeson and Sealed Ring Maille Tested!
