The Ideal Choice for LARP and Cosplay
This chainmail coif is perfect for action-packed events. It is ideal for LARP, cosplay, theatrical performances, or as an accessory for a fantasy costume. Its classic design, protecting the head, neck, and shoulders, suits a wide range of characters—from knights and city guards to raiders and fantasy heroes. For maximum comfort, we recommend wearing a padded arming cap underneath the coif to cushion blows and make it more comfortable to wear.
Practicality First: The Advantages of Zinc-Plated Rings
Classic steel armour looks great, but its upkeep is demanding. A zinc-plated finish solves these problems.
- Corrosion Resistance: Zinc creates a protective barrier that prevents rust. This allows you to move through damp environments without worry.
- No Oiling Required: Forget about greasy hands and stained clothing. This coif just needs to be kept dry and clean.
- Brilliant Appearance: The shiny finish looks fantastic and resembles polished steel without requiring hours of polishing.
- Great Value: The combination of affordable butted rings and an effective zinc-plated finish makes this coif an excellent choice for its price-to-performance ratio.
A Modern Take on a Medieval Classic
For centuries, the chainmail coif was one of the most common types of head protection. Its shape and function were proven in countless battles. This model takes the best of historical design—the tried-and-true cut and 4-in-1 weave—and combines it with a modern finish for the maximum convenience and minimum fuss for today's user.
A Point of Historical Interest: Where Does the Word 'Mail' Come From?
The word 'mail' or 'chainmail' comes from the Old French word 'maille', which referred to the individual rings. This word, in turn, has its roots in the Latin term 'macula', meaning 'net' or 'mesh of a net'. This perfectly captures the essence of this armour—a strong net woven from thousands of small metal rings.
