Mail hauberk with hood and mittens for full contact

Knee-length mail hauberk with a hood and mittens — a practical protective layer for full contact. The pattern follows 12th–13th century historical analogs and covers torso, shoulders, upper arms and neck/occipital area. Mail helps manage sliding impacts and reduces cut risk, while keeping the body free to move in clinch and weapon work. Works under plates or as a training setup. Price depends on size and is calculated per selected size.

Product description

Mail hauberk is a knee-length chainmail shirt with an attached or compatible hood and mail mittens, developed with reference to historical sources and 12th–13th century analogs. This format gives large-area coverage in a single piece: torso, shoulder line, upper arms and the neck/back-of-head zone — relevant for buhurt where contact and grappling are frequent.

Protection and durability. Mail is primarily anti-cut and anti-snag protection: it reduces the chance of lacerations and helps distribute the load from glancing hits. In full contact, mail is commonly used with a padded underlayer and/or plates on top to match the impact profile and meet event-specific requirements.

Mobility. A hauberk keeps the core and arms comparatively free: fewer rigid restrictions than full plate coverage, which matters for weapon handling, transitions and clinch work. Knee-length coverage adds protection to the upper legs; correct sizing helps avoid interference with steps and lunges.

Fit and compatibility. The geometry is built around typical anatomy: the hood follows head shape, mittens overlap the hand, and sleeve volume supports elbow bend. It pairs well with brigandines/cuirasses, pauldrons, elbows and belt elements — mail helps close gaps and reduces exposed seams.

Service and repair. Mail is field-repairable: damaged areas can be rebuilt by replacing rings locally. For lifespan, keep it clean and dry after training, and monitor high-wear zones (armpits, elbows, mitten edges, lower hem).

Tournament checks. Coverage and construction are suitable for many full contact formats (including HMB/IMCF and similar leagues), but acceptance depends on the specific ruleset: ring spec, padding, and plate integration are checked per event. Always confirm requirements with organizers.
