V Face Chainmail Coif with Arming Cap 10mm 16g Butted Rings

The V face chainmail coif with arming cap is inspired by the protective hoods worn by medieval soldiers and knights from the 11th to the 15th century. A chainmail coif protected the head, neck, and shoulders against cuts while allowing the wearer to move freely. It was worn under helmets, making it an important part of a knight’s armor.

The V-shaped face opening gave good visibility. This design became popular because it gave a practical balance between protection and comfort during battle.

Durable V-Face Chainmail Coif

This V face chainmail coif with arming cap includes a chainmail coif made from 10 mm internal diameter, 16-gauge mild steel butted rings. The larger 10 mm rings have flexibility and airflow, making the coif comfortable for extended wear, the 16-gauge wire provides strength with manageable weight.

The classic V-face opening gives excellent visibility and protects the head, neck, and shoulders and works well under most medieval helmets. With Zinc-polished finish, it is bright, clean look for a classic knightly look. No oiling required.

It is ideal for LARP, cosplay, stage performances, medieval costumes, historical displays, and collectors looking for an authentic-looking piece of chainmail armor.

This set also includes a medieval arming cap, to be worn underneath the chainmail coif or a helmet. It has a durable three-layer construction with a 100% cotton outer shell and recycled multi-fiber padding that helps absorb impact and improve comfort.

The quilted construction spreads pressure evenly across the head, reducing discomfort. Cotton tie straps keep the cap securely in place and prevent it from slipping during movement.
