This chainmail darkened steel hauberk/shirt is amazing! Not only does it look awesome when worn, it feels awesome! The 24-pound weight of the armor is not cumbersome, as I thought it would be. When worn, all the weight is evenly distributed on your upper body and feels…comforting. Like being embraced by a friendly, protective force, (which I suppose, is exactly what it is)! I had never worn a chainmail shirt before in my entire life, so it was quite an experience! …and a pleasant one, at that. This mail feels as though it would stop any sword’s slashing blows; axe blows; or even arrows and crossbow bolts, (unless they are tipped with bodkin heads). I really love this armor shirt! The price is fantastic as well! I am six-feet tall, average build, with a goodly arm-length, and this armor’s sleeves come to my hands; and as to torso length; it hangs half-way down my thighs. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect fit! Word to the wise though; I live alone (with my Corso-dog), and I absolutely couldn’t wait to try this hauberk of steel on. I didn’t even remove the generous amount of oil it comes coated in. Sure, it’s easy enough for one man to put on; but when I was done admiring the medieval coolness in the mirror; I found out that removing the shirt of steel is another thing altogether. My dog, well, she was of no help at all. For a few desperate minutes there, I was a slowly panicking, writhing, contorting, oily mess. Live and learn, dear friends, live and learn. No wonder knights had squires and pages. I do love this blackened chainmail hauberk! If you get one, you will as well.
