Long-length hauberk

This hauberk, or as it is more commonly known chainmail tunic, is made from large flat steel links which in alternate rows are riveted and welded together creating a protective mesh over the wearers' body. This longer hauberk comes down onto the legs with a split from the groin to allow the wearer to mount and ride a horse comfortably. Infantrymen would rarely be equipped with such a complete hauberk as this as they were quite expensive, in regards to both materials and labour required to make it.
