Product description
Hauberks like this were worn by both 9th-century Vikings and 13th-century crusaders. Made from unriveted round rings, this hauberk features rings crafted from mild steel woven in a 4:1 construction — meaning each ring connects to four others.
Short chainmail shirts like these were worn by Vikings and others in the early Middle Ages. They stayed in use until the 11th century and made a comeback in the second half of the 14th century. From that point on, these short chainmail shirts were called haubergeons — a diminutive of hauberk, or long chainmail shirt. Haubergeons offer optimal protection and greater freedom of movement than the hauberk. That makes them ideal to wear under armor.
Attach armor parts to the shoulders and arms of the haubergeon easily using leather laces.
