Chainmail - Ragnar

Epic Armoury's new  Ragnar Chainmail is a flexible mail armor shirt made from linked steel rings. The mail covers the body from the shoulder to the thighs, and has long sleeves protecting the arms to the wrists. Each butted ring interlocks with four other rings in a 4-in-1 design, while the armpits are reinforced with riveted rings designed to cope with additional stress. Treated with Epic Armoury’s Metal coat to prevent rust, you can expect this armor to last a long time as reenactment gear with proper metal care.

The Ragnar Chainmail is long sleeve mail great for heavy medieval infantry and sergeants, as well as early knights. Wear it over one of our gambesons for the most comfort and authentic wear. Pair this armor with additional Epic Armoury metal works and clothing to fit your character’s needs.
