Good old flimsy butted “chainmail“ worn directly on the scalp... what could go wrong? Well... Let's go a little less silly and find out how well riveted mail over a padded cap protects against sword strikes. Would it just rattle your noggin a little or cause some less... tolerable results? For battles your character wants to partake in, be it historically inspired fiction or realistic fantasy, theymight want to invest in a helmet, even if it's just a Cervelliere (simple, low-profile skull cap). Just sayin'. :) Special thanks to bladesmith Rick Marchand for building the stand and letting me wreck stuff at his place. Check out his awesome work: The coif that I'm testing in this video: The anatomical head analog I got
