Alright medieval enthusiasts and historical reenactors, this chain mail avantail from THE MEDIEVALS is seriously quality gear. The 10mm inner diameter rings are the perfect size - large enough to be historically accurate for many periods but still providing good protection. The flat riveted construction is what really sets this apart - it's authentic to how historical mail was made, not just butted rings that can pop open under stress. The craftsmanship is impressive - each ring is properly closed and the pattern is consistent throughout. I've used this as neck protection with my helmet, and it moves beautifully without restricting head movement. The weight distribution feels right, and it hangs properly when attached to a helmet or worn as standalone neck protection. Whether you're into SCA combat, LARPing, historical reenactment, or just want authentic-looking armor for costumes, this avantail delivers both authenticity and functionality. The steel has a nice finish that looks period-appropriate but can be aged further if you want that battle-worn look. It's substantial enough to feel protective but not so heavy that it's uncomfortable to wear for extended periods. The quality is exactly what you'd want for serious use - this isn't some flimsy costume piece that will fall apart. If you're building out your medieval kit and need proper neck protection that looks the part and performs well, this chain mail avantail is definitely worth the investment. It's one of those pieces that immediately elevates your armor setup from costume to authentic reproduction.
