Chain mail, also known as leg warmers, served as leg protection in the late Middle Ages. Plate armour was often worn over the leg, so that chain mail was only intended to protect the bare areas. Unlike the relatively stiff plate armour, chain mail is much more flexible and adapts much better to the shape of the body.

ulfberth® chain warmers are delivered in pairs. They are now available in almost all types of braids. They can be attached individually, for example with leather cords and/or leather straps. However, these are not included in the scope of delivery. Another attachment option is to sew them onto existing (leather) trousers.

The chain mail rm is made of rings with a diameter of only 6 mm. According to the original templates, it consists of a row of riveted rings (round rivet heads) and a row of perforated rings. Due to the extremely small diameter of the rings, these chain mails could then and now be made of steel with a material thickness of only 1 mm without losing their strength. This results in a weight reduction of about 30 - 35%. We abbreviate this type of braid rm (english = roman maille ) because it was already very popular among the Celts and Romans (hamata). This ring armour chain mail was in use throughout the late Middle Ages.
