Product description
This Aluminum hauberk is designed for long time wearing. It is made of lightweight aluminum and is fully riveted. This makes it look lifelike, but it is considerably lighter and cannot withstand blows from steel weapons. This hauberk is made to the sizes of the average adult. It can be worn with or without gambeson.
Short chainmail shirts like these were worn by Vikings and others in the early Middle Ages. They remained in use until the 11th century and made a comeback in the second half of the 14th century. From the second half of the 14th century, such short chainmail shirts were called haubergeons, a diminutive of hauberk, or long chainmail shirt. Haubergeons offer optimal protection and more freedom of movement than the hauberk. Therefore, they were also ideal to wear under armor.
Armor parts can be easily attached to the shoulders and arms of the haubergeon with leather laces.
