Lightweight Aluminium Rubber Chainmail Coif for LARP, Theatre and Film
This coif is crafted from a dense mesh of round rings, alternating between lightweight aluminium rings and sturdy rubber ones. Each aluminium ring has an inner diameter of 10mm and is made from 1.628mm (14 gauge) wire. Thanks to this material combination, the coif is incredibly light, durable, and conforms beautifully to the shape of your head and shoulders. The aluminium rings aren't riveted, which further reduces its weight. The shiny aluminium and matte rubber rings create a rather interesting visual contrast. The coif fully covers the head, neck, and the upper part of the shoulders. Further product information ...

History and Present Day:
Traditional chainmail coifs were historically part of the protective gear for many warriors, especially in the Middle Ages. They were worn on their own or under a helmet to protect the head and neck from injuries. While this modern version made from aluminium and rubber doesn't offer the same level of protection as steel, it retains the historical look with significantly lower weight and greater flexibility.
Nowadays, you'll find this coif particularly useful for LARP (live action role-playing), where it'll add an authentic touch to your costume without weighing you down. It's perfect for characters like knights, mages, rogues, and other fantastical beings. You can also use it in theatre, film, or as an original accessory for a fancy dress party, where it's sure to turn heads. Its lightness and comfort will also be appreciated by actors during long performances or filming sessions. You can wear it on its own or as a stylish underlayer beneath a kettle hat.
A Historical Tidbit:
Did you know that various types of chainmail coifs existed in the Middle Ages? Some were short, covering only the head and neck, while others extended to the shoulders and chest and could even have an integrated collar.
Care and Cleaning:
Thanks to the materials used, caring for this coif is very simple:
- Cleaning: You can hand wash the coif in lukewarm water with a mild soap. Then rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry. Avoid tumble drying or drying in direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store the coif in a dry place, ideally lying loosely or hung up so that the rings do not become deformed.
This lightweight and stylish chainmail coif is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an original accessory for their costumes who wants to feel comfortable and look interesting at the same time. Order yours today and let yourself be carried away by the world of fantasy!
