Product description
This hauberk is a replica of several originals. Many excavated hauberks are made of a combination of mixed rings of which most rings have a diameter of approx. 6 mm. This hauberk is developed after these excavated originals. Because the rings are significantly smaller than most hauberks, this hauberk could be made of 1 mm thick spring steel. This hauberk is extremely efficient. It has smaller openings so it prevents stab wounds has and a weight reduction of 30%. This hauberk is perfect for experimental archaeology, full combat re-enactment and living history.
Chainmail shirts like these were worn from the early Middle Ages until the 14th century by wealthy Vikings and other Germanic peoples, medieval knights, and well-equipped infantry. Long chainmail shirts were called hauberks. From the second half of the 14th century, the haubergeon or small hauberk was also worn. Haubergeons are shorter and often have half-length sleeves.
Leather laces can be used to easily attach chainmail coifs and armor parts to the chainmail shirt. The sleeves can also be tightened around the arm and elbow with leather laces, resulting in less play and more freedom of movement.
