Chainmail Coif Butted High Tensile Steel Wire - 9mm 16g rings

This chainmail coif is made from 9 mm butted spring-steel rings in 16-gauge thickness, woven in the classic 4-in-1 European pattern. The square facial opening not only gives it a distinct medieval look but also provides better comfort and visibility for the wearer.

Thanks to its (high carbon) spring-steel rings, this coif is stronger and more flexible than mild-steel versions, offering great durability without adding much weight. Its natural steel finish keeps an authentic medieval appearance, perfect for reenactments, LARP, cosplay, or film use.
