Questions about the product Gothic gorgets made of 1.2 mm steel

Wird geladen...

The Gothic gorget is made of 1.2 mm thick steel. The chin guard is movably attached to the neck part by means of steel rivets. The reconstruction is based on a historical model from around 1480.
How can the Gothic gorget be individually adjusted to the body size, which measurements are crucial for an optimal fit, and how should the material be cared for to protect it from corrosion in the long term?

The Gothic gorget can be individually adjusted using size-adjustable leather straps and buckles, while the multi-part construction with a movable chin guard ensures the necessary flexibility. Crucial for an optimal fit is measuring your neck circumference beforehand and checking compatibility with your existing helmet and breastplate. To protect the material from corrosion in the long term, the steel should be wiped dry after each use and regularly treated with a light oil such as Ballistol or gun oil.
Is this neck guard compatible with common helmet types such as the Schaller, and what is the approximate weight of the version made from 1.2 mm thick steel?

This neck guard is compatible with common helmet types such as the Schaller. The approximate weight of the version made from 1.2 mm thick steel is 820 g.
What additional protective features does the flip-up faceplate offer, how is it secured in the upper position, and what functional details at the top edge support wearing comfort during longer missions?

The flip-up faceplate offers additional protection for the lower face and chin by deflecting blows, while in the raised position it is secured by lateral pins or the friction of the rivets. For optimal comfort during extended use, the gorget features an outward-folding edge at the top to prevent chafing; however, wearing a padded cap or gambeson is also recommended.
