From the Rulebook
- A gambeson must be at least equivalent to Cloth armor.
- A gambeson must be worn under all armor on a hit location in order to give a bonus.
- A gambeson which extends past the area covered by the armor it is supporting may be either treated as garb or averaged as Cloth armor at the discretion of the wearer on a per-location basis.
