History and Safe Usage
Chainmail armor was the fundamental protective gear for soldiers and knights for centuries. It offers excellent protection against slashes and cuts, as slicing through the solid steel mesh is exceedingly difficult. During the Middle Ages, this type of haubergeon was often worn under plate armor to close gaps and protect vulnerable areas.
While this armor is highly durable, please note that it is not primarily intended for full-contact combat sports like buhurt unless supplemented with additional plate protection. For comfortable wear and to absorb kinetic energy, we strongly recommend always wearing a thick padded gambeson underneath the chainmail. The mild steel requires regular maintenance; after each use, dry it thoroughly and apply a protective oil (e.g., WD-40) to prevent rust.
Would you like me to suggest a durable leather belt to help distribute the weight of the haubergeon from your shoulders down to your hips?
