Product description

The hauberk is a replica of several originals. Many excavated hauberks are crafted from a combination of mixed rings, of which most have a diameter of approx. 6 mm. This hauberk has been developed after these excavated originals. Because the rings are significantly smaller than those of most hauberks, this hauberk could be constructed from 1 mm thick spring steel. The hauberk is extremely efficient. It has smaller openings, which permits reduced vulnerability to stab wounds, and achieves a weight reduction of 30%. This hauberk is well-suited to experimental archaeology, full combat re-enactment, and living history.

Chainmail shirts such as 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 known as 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 may be employed to attach chainmail coifs and armour parts to the chainmail shirt with ease. The sleeves can also be tightened around the arm and elbow with leather laces, resulting in less play and greater freedom of movement.
