Product description
This type of hauberk was widely used in the Middle Ages. The split ensures that it can also easily be worn on horseback and hinders the wearer's mobility as little as possible.
This type of hauberk is made of riveted aluminum rings, mixed with rubber rings. This chainmail is lightweight and stretchable due to the rubber rings.
Hauberks like this were worn from the 11th century. This type of long chain mail, also called hauberk, has a split. The split provides extra comfort on horseback. 11th-12th century images almost exclusively show knights with a split in their hauberk. From the 12th to 14th century, hauberks were worn both with and without a split. Leather laces make it easy to attach chain mail hoods and armor parts to the chain mail. The sleeves can also be tied tighter around the arm and elbow with leather laces, creating less play and more freedom of movement.
