Description
In the forge where steel meets fire and hammer shapes defense, this mail coif is wrought from 17 gauge steel rings, each butted and measuring about 3/16″ in diameter. These small rings are linked tightly to form a dense weave, designed to guard against the piercing thrusts and cutting blows that warriors faced on the field. Such a weave offers a balance,enough protection to stop or slow a blade, yet flexible enough to allow the wearer to move with agility and respond swiftly in combat. Mail like this was a valuable piece of a fighter’s gear, often earned through hard-fought battles and worn as a mark of status among comrades. To keep the coif strong and free from rust, it must be regularly oiled, preserving the steel through many a campaign and harsh weather.
- Wt: 5 lbs/8 oz
Fun fact: Hero’s Mail Armor Coif carries on a tradition where mail was not just protection but a badge of survival,worn by warriors who had endured the chaos of battle and stood as living proof of their courage and skill.
