A hauberk is a shirt of mail. The term is usually used to describe a shirt reaching at least to mid-thigh and including sleeves. This chainmail is unique as it is constructed with aluminum which makes it lighter than the average chainmail you see on the market. At one-third the weight of steel, Aluminum Chainmail is a very good alternative. It is mainly used in movies, plays, or re-enactments, roles where you are wearing maile for long periods of time. Its construction is 16 gauge aluminum with alternating round and riveted 10mm links. It is just the apt thing for Renaissance Fairs or costume parties or just wearing it to the club, to create one?s own style statement. It looks astonishing on just anyone.
