Voiders (Pair) Flat Ring Round Riveted Mild Steel 8mm 18 Gauge – Medieval Chainmail Underarm Protection

These premium mild steel voiders are designed to deliver reliable and authentic underarm protection for your medieval armor kit. Crafted from 8mm flat rings riveted with round rivets, they achieve the perfect balance between flexibility and resilience, reinforcing vulnerable areas beneath your arms without compromising freedom of movement.

Voiders were historically used to complete chainmail coverage, filling gaps between a hauberk and plate armor or gambeson to shield the sides and underarms from cuts and thrusts. This pair replicates traditional construction in 18 gauge mild steel, ensuring durability suitable for live steel sparring, historical interpretation, and serious collectors alike.

Each voider can be stitched or laced securely into a gambeson or jacket using the edge rows or reinforced borders. They are lightweight enough to remain comfortable for extended wear, yet sturdy enough to offer genuine protection against abrasion and impact.

Whether you’re assembling a 13th–15th-century armor ensemble or looking to upgrade your re-enactment gear with historically accurate details, these voiders make an essential addition.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Lightly oil the rings after use to prevent rust.

Store in a dry place, away from moisture.

For stubborn residue, clean gently with a soft cloth and light machine oil.

Avoid prolonged contact with leather conditioners or acidic solutions.
