Mesh skirt 200801

The sound of chain mail worn by a thousand marching soldiers is like music to you. There is a thump, like the blood moving in your veins, as if it were the tapped faucet propelling you forward instead of your own two feet.

Your chain skirt shifts slightly with each step, a comfort due to its protection and the flexibility it offers you. This is soldier life at its finest.

DETAILS

The Epic Armoury Chainmail Skirt is a flexible mail armour skirt made from linked steel rings. The mail covers the lower body from the waist to the thighs, and is slung from the shoulders by two strong leather straps. Each chainmail ring interlocks with four other rings in a 4-in-1 design, and the skirt is hemmed in leather to ensure comfort around the waist and groin.

The Chainmail Skirt is ideal for heavy medieval infantry and sergeants looking to have some armor that doesn't sacrifice range of motion. Wear it over one of our gambesons for the most comfort and authentic wear, securing it with the double-strap belt around the waist - a durable solution to offset the weight of chainmail! - and adjusting the shoulder straps. Pair this armor with additional Epic Armoury metalwork and clothing to suit your character's needs.
