Voiders (pair) 8mm Mild Steel Riveted Round Flat Ring 18 Gauge - Medieval Chainmail Underarm Protection

Voiders (pair) 8mm Mild Steel Riveted Round Flat Ring 18 Gauge - Medieval Chainmail Underarm Protection

These premium mild steel ring cuffs are designed to provide reliable and authentic underarm protection for your medieval armor. Made from 8mm flat rings riveted with round rivets, they achieve the perfect balance between flexibility and strength, reinforcing vulnerable underarm areas without compromising freedom of movement.

Historically, scabbards were used to complete the coverage of chain mail, filling the gaps between the mail and plate armor or gambeson to protect the sides and armpits from cuts and thrusts. This pair replicates traditional 18-gauge mild steel construction, ensuring durability suitable for live steel combat, historical interpretation, and serious collectors alike.

Each voider can be securely sewn or tied to a gambeson or jacket using the rows of edging or reinforced edges. They are light enough to be comfortable during extended use, yet strong enough to offer genuine protection against abrasion and impact.

Whether you're assembling a set of 13th-15th century armor or want to upgrade your reenactment gear with historically accurate details, these voiders are an essential addition.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Lightly lubricate the rings after use to prevent rust.

Store in a dry place, away from moisture.

For stubborn residue, gently wipe with a soft cloth and a little machine oil.

Avoid prolonged contact with leather conditioners or acid solutions.
