Thanks for actually mentioning that gambesons for vikings are disputed. Surely they must've had some kind of padding, but that could also have been thick tunics. Or multiple thick tunics worn together. Your gambeson actually looks pretty good I think. I don't know why, but it just doesn't have such a high medieval look like many others I've seen.

Given they surely had the means to make gambesons, they'd be made of something that isn't prone to surviving, and you really need something under mail for it to really be effective, I'd be in favor of the idea that they most likely did have them. Interesting kit in any case!

Agreed, it would have made sense for at least a few of them to have worn a gambson or something similar. I'm about as sure as you can be without a surviving example that it was a thing.
@viktorsilva40176 жыл бұрын
There's no surviving example of gambesons, everyone's tired of hearing and reading that, but they did had the concept of padded armor, some reenactors even say that it is possible the vikings wore thick woolen tunics one over another, and some reenactors even speculate that they could have sewn tunics together to make one sturdy piece of padding, so i think that if there was any kind of gambeson, it would have a simple tunic pattern, like the Penguin's gambeson, so i guess it's somehow safe to say that his gambeson (despite the fact that it is black) is one of the most accurate things we can get to what they had at the viking age
@caringancoystopitum42246 жыл бұрын
+Viktor Silva The fact, that the gambeson is black, doesn't make it inaccurate at all. Yes, black wasn't as common, as we see in the movies, but it still was an existing and used color.

Ya know I cant remember the name of the source off the top of my head but some time ago I did see a documentary on the trade routes the norse made. According to the historians that put it together the norsemen were exchaging goods with traders from as far away as the middle east, so they may have at least known of llamalar style armor at the very least. I'll poke around and see if I can find that video.
@NesRuA5 жыл бұрын
The kit is from the later years of the Viking Age. By then, the Norse (specially the Rus) would've known of lamellar through their interactions with eastern peoples, particularly the Eastern Romans (the kit actually looks more Varangian than Norse, which he mentioned near the end). Take in mind that other Germanic groups (such as the Longobards) made prevalent use of lamellar during the Migration Period, as it's easy to repair and maintain.

There were finds in Birka and Visby. The Varangian Guard would have had different types but maybe even this style. The helm is more Vendel, pre-viking (sorry, as he said. Was writing this as it played). But I respect anyone who makes their own stuff. I'm biased because I make my own stuff. Made leather lamellar, but we concluded there is not enough evidence to support it. I ague that unless we find some in a bog, it would have rotted away, but surely those with less money would have had it. I just gave in, so I'm in the process of making metal lamellar not unlike this. Everything I make I can show a source to the design. i.e. from digs, finds or burials.
@caringancoystopitum42246 жыл бұрын
+Morning Petrichor The thing about leather armor (no matter if lamellar or "plate") is, that it offers little to no protection. You'd have to really harden the leather and use several layers to make it even cut resistent and I don't even want to think about thrusts. Overall, if you really want to make leather armor that actually protects you, it'll end up almost as heavy as a sturdy steel cuirass. I know, people back in the day may have worn leather armor, but I just can't think of a reson why they would have done so. Leather wasn't exactly cheap, or easy to get in those times...
@tonysmith16866 жыл бұрын
I'll work backwards to your reply. Too true about the cost of leather, it's a long process. But these were still the days where metallurgy was looked at as a type of alchemy. They say a sword was like buying an expensive sports car. They were given names, thought to be magical, and often handed down in the inheritance. Plus, mining for the ore was not a large scale task as it is today so even the wrought iron, let alone high tensile steel, was expensive. But animals always run above ground so easier to obtain. To make leather hard, One dips it into molten bees wax. It is speculated that the Vikings who did their sight seeing tour at Lindisfarne had leather caps (helms) that were treated this way. That was the only armour they had. It can make it brittle though, and in the case of thin lames, it can make them shrivel like leaves. Being a Dane axe swinger in re-enactment, I've made some articulated 5 mm leather armoured mits and treated them with wax. They have prevented my fingers even getting hurt with misplaced blocks. But, granted, this isn't against edged weapons being struck full force. But I think it would still displace the energy of a strike and prevent cuts. Even steel can't stop everything. And I agree that the leather suit was heavier than my current metal lame suit which incidentally covers more area. I justify the amount of armour due to the Varangian Guard being mounted infantry, shock troops, guarding the emperor, and getting well paid. Oh, and I like your icon. I wear that symbol on my cap. "Long live the Emperor!" ....oh, wait...

U guys r forgetting that the vikings traveled all the way to central asia, and traded in the silky way. And there is a high possibility that they used other armor than just a chainmail and a helmet. They may have adopted the lamellar, and made it a part of theyre culture as well. Even without historical evidence except the Birka Lamellar. The vikings was fighting alot of rus, and the rus did use lamellar cuz they too were both fighting and trading with the mongols. Who DID wear lamellar at the time. Because that was theyre armor culture. And lamellar armor offers better protection against projectile weapons, and blunt weapons. However chainmail offers a bigger area of protection. And the vikings did use bow and arrows, and they knew the weakness of the chainmail Weakness nr.1: Blunt impact, and yes they used theyre winter coat to reduce the impact Weakness nr.2: Piercing, which is probably the biggest weakness, considering that chainmail is not a standalone armor, so a armor piercing arrow would pierce right through the mail AND winter coat alike. The vikings wasnt stupid, if they were fighting enemies with better gear, which they did, they would have adopted it. Only idiots would reject the option. And this is just my opinion tho. Cuz if i were living 1000 years ago. I would have adopted other types of armor as well. And i am not even the sharpest tool in the shed. I am just realistic

Your armoury is more near of reality. Because the armourys we seens around, using polished metal surface.

Is your group solely viking, or an anachronistic mix of periods? Also, what is the name of the group? I'm trying to network with viking groups in the US.

It's a mix of mainly knights and vikings. We call ourselves Knights of the North. You can join our Facebook group if you like.

The lamellar is really cool and all but isn’t it pretty rare for the Vikings? I know they wore it a little but.... not that much. Still a pretty damn cool set though! Good job!
@skalmaa5 жыл бұрын
Yes its rare. If you had armor like this during that time. You most likely had status and wealth. The average viking was a normal farmer or tradesman . Most vikings dident even have swords. They used Axes. Spears and Bows. The more wealthy ones with status hand more fancy Equipment like Swords, and better protection.

You say this is fantasy? Because tbh you did a good effort with your research from what I see! Even if it's not 100% accurate, it's at least believable and very practical!
@teutonicpenguin95933 жыл бұрын
Thank you! There's a lot wrong unfortunately. Helm is not sourced, lamellar pattern is later period and there's no proof vikings wore it. The bazubands, the gambeson. I did fight in this setup for a while though and I still like it, I just have come to see the short comings of this kit. I appreciate the positive feedback however!

@caringancoystopitum42246 жыл бұрын
Not even plate gauntlets can "handle" real strikes from swords. It still hurts like hell and can leave you with broken bones or at least bruises. But better a broken bone, than a cut off hand, right? Don't get me wrong here, medieval armor works great, but the best tactic in fighting, no matter the level of armor you're wearing, is to not get hit ;)

Did Vikings/Varangians actually use lamellar? And is a Vendel period helm really the same as a 10th century helm? This kit looks awesome, I'm just iffy on the history.
@Lunar_Muffins6 жыл бұрын
Thirdtrys Acharm I have heard of one find of lamellar, in Birka Sweden. I'm not sure when it dated back to but I think it may have been the late viking age. Though they would have been very uncommon. I have heard of a few finds from the Rus' in modern day Russia and Ukraine. So it would have been more common with Rus' "Vikings", though they're not really Vikings. So it was uncommon to see lamellar with the Vikings but it wouldn't have been impossible for one to have used it.
@teutonicpenguin95936 жыл бұрын
Brad is correct, the lamellar is iffy for accuracy but not impossible. and the helm I do intend to switch out for a rus style, but the vendel/Viking ocular style was easiest to adapt for heavy combat and the spangen style was easier for my first attempt at building a helmet.
@thewisp74476 жыл бұрын
Maybe the Vendel helmet was a family hand me down... But I admit, it looks a little too clean.
