Tods Workshop | Arrows v's Gambeson fabric armour @tods_workshop | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 22 minutes ago
Properly made medieval fabric armour was tough, thick and common - but how good is it against arrow strikes? Lets find out!
It was often worn with maille as well, but that will be for another film, this is just about standard and toughened gambesons and what happens when you shoot them with 4 different medieval arrow types from a 160lbs longbow simulator.
