Yes. I would definitely prefer to wear a riveted maille shirt to a welded mesh shirt if my life depended on it stopping pre-firearm weaponry. However, this mesh is adequate for today's dangers and is less expensive. |
Thanks again, and now I think I have a clear idea of the range of treat protection this maille gives in the modern context as being adequate and in a period context ( Discounting historical accuracy issues ) where this level of protection might be O.K. as light armour but below the best protection one could have with stronger maille.
Well, I guess this means I'm still happy about the purchase as it fills my current needs but eventually I might be tempted to upgrade to the best maille I can get, if I can afford it, and just for the pleasure of having it ! :cool:
