What is a gorget used for?
They are pieces of neck protection that are part of medieval armour. They form a continuum with the shoulder pads, guaranteeing more complete protection in combat.
What was a medieval shoulder pad used for?
These pieces were used by warriors to cover their shoulders and avoid possible attacks with swords or any other weapon. They are usually complete garments and cover part of the torso and the base of the arm.
What materials are they made of?
Gorgets are usually made of different materials, including iron, chainmail, steel, leather and even bronze. Chainmail gorgets. Among the most resistant gorgets are those made of chainmail, since this material, due to its metallic nature, prevents penetration by any type of weapon. In medieval times, these were the most used in combat by warriors to avoid certain death.
