Hauberk met split, ronde ringen, ronde klinknagels 9 mm Lorica hamata mainly on the British IslesThis type of hauberk was often used in the Middle Ages. The split makes it easier to use when riding a horse, and makes movement a little easier. The hauberk has long sleeves and is made of mild steel. It is rivetted with round rivets. Chainmail shirts like these were worn from the 11th century onwards. This type of long chainmail shirt, also called a hauberk, features a split. The split provides extra comfort while riding a horse. 11th 12th century
