The 'Richard' chainmail shirt with riveted aluminum rings is a great option for those who want an authentic armor look, but prefer a lighter option. Here are some important features of this piece:
- Lightweight Aluminum Material: Unlike steel chain mail, this version is made of aluminum, making it much lighter and easier to carry. It weighs approximately 6kg, making it a more comfortable option for those who don't want the extra weight of steel.
- Protection and Authenticity: Despite its lighter weight, this chain mail provides reasonable protection and is an authentic choice for depictions of armored characters.
- Riveted aluminum rings: Each ring of the chain mail is riveted, ensuring durability and strength. The rings will not open easily and will remain intact during prolonged use.
- Recommended sizes: This chain mail is suggested to be worn for people with an average chest circumference of about 90 to 125 cm. This allows the chain mail to be worn over a gambeson and reach a maximum circumference of approximately 140 cm under the arms.
- Classic Weave Design: Follows a classic '4 in 1' weave pattern that provides both flexibility and strength.
- Appropriate Length: It reaches about the knee, providing good coverage for your upper legs.
- Full riveting under the armpit: To ensure greater durability, this chain mail is fully riveted under the armpit, preventing the rings from slipping during intense movements.
This chain mail is suitable for a variety of applications, such as historical reenactment, live role-playing, theatrical events, and more. It provides an authentic Middle Ages look and is an excellent choice for those who want a more comfortable and lightweight armor experience. Make sure you select the appropriate size for a comfortable fit and according to your needs.
