Chainmail Coif in High-Tensile Steel, 9mm Butted Rings - Outlet

Chainmail Coif in High-Tensile Steel, 9mm Butted Rings, Size L

Strength You Can Rely On

The main advantage of this coif is the material used. The high-tensile steel wire has been specially treated to be stronger and more resilient. In practice, this means that the rings are far less likely to open under common impact or stress, significantly increasing the lifespan and reliability of your armour at any event that doesn't require fully riveted mail. The coif is spacious enough to be worn comfortably over a padded arming cap, and it also fits perfectly under a steel helmet to ensure maximum protection and historical accuracy.

Historical Context – A Head of Protection

The chainmail coif was a cornerstone of a European warrior's armour for centuries, from Norman knights to the foot soldiers of the late Middle Ages. It provided crucial protection for the head and neck against slashing injuries, which were among the most common on the battlefield. Its flexibility and relatively low weight made it an indispensable piece of equipment, worn both on its own and in combination with other types of protection.

How to Care for Your Coif

While the steel used is high-tensile, it is not stainless. To ensure your coif serves you for years without rusting, it needs proper care. After each use, especially in a damp environment, dry it thoroughly. Then, lightly spray it with a preservative oil (like WD-40 or Ballistol) and wipe off the excess with a cloth. Store it in a dry, ventilated place, ideally hanging or in a breathable cloth bag.

Important Notice: This chainmail coif is made from butted rings. Despite the use of a stronger material, it is not intended for full-contact combat sports like HMB (buhurt), where there is a risk of injury.
