Lightweight Chainmail Haubergeon, 10mm Aluminium and Rubber Rings, 14 Gauge
A Revolution in Comfort and Appearance
This **Haubergeon** style chainmail shirt (a shorter cut with short sleeves) is crafted from a combination of modern materials that give it unique properties. The 4-in-1 pattern mail is composed of alternating rows of:
- Butted Aluminium Rings: The round rings with a 10 mm internal diameter are made from lightweight yet strong 1.6 mm (14 gauge) aluminium wire.
- Solid Rubber Rings: Black rubber rings provide the mail with unprecedented flexibility and elasticity.
This construction makes the armour not only extremely lightweight but also allows it to conform perfectly to your body shape without restricting movement. You can run, fight, and perform any action freely, without feeling the weight and stiffness of traditional steel armour.
Who is This Armour Ideal For?
Thanks to its features, this lightweight shirt is the perfect choice for:
- LARP and Fantasy Events: You can wear it all day without fatigue and still look amazing.
- Cosplay: Perfect your costume without the unnecessary burden.
- Theatrical and Film Productions: Ideal for actors who need a combination of authentic appearance and maximum comfort during a performance.
Please Note: This is costume armour. Due to the materials used, it is not suitable for historical fencing, reenactment, or full-contact combat. Its primary purpose is appearance and comfort.
Fun Fact: Modern Materials in the World of Fantasy
While medieval armourers relied on iron and steel, the modern era brings new possibilities. The use of materials like aluminium and synthetic rubber in armour construction is a perfect example of how technology allows history and fantasy enthusiasts to achieve the desired look without enduring the same discomfort as ancient warriors. This makes hobbies like LARP and cosplay more accessible and enjoyable for a much wider range of people.
Care and Maintenance
Caring for this armour is incredibly easy:
- Cleaning: After use, simply wipe the shirt with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and sweat.
- Rust-Proof: A major advantage of aluminium is that it does not corrode. You don't have to worry about complex oil preservation.
- Storage: Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to extend the life of the rubber rings.
- What to Avoid: Do not expose the armour to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
