Heh... I was just about to answer Paul's question when I saw yours... :)
The two places I look first when I run across something I don't know are:
http://www.sca.org/misc.html
--> miscellaneous links from the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)
website, there's a large number of good informational links off of here,
including glossaries, and encylopedic sites.
http://orb.rhodes.edu/
-->The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies is a great resource,
although it can be a bit intimidating to hunt around in. I'd recommend the
"Of General Interest" section to answer most common questions.

Dictionaries in general are good, as are topical encyclopedias. (like ORB
above).
And yup, that is indeed what a gambeson is, both traditional and current. I
have one in my car right now, in fact, alongside the rest of my armour. :)
