Product Description

Jack Chains were an essential item for the medieval foot soldier.
 
Usually a foot soldier wore a padded jacket to protect the upper body but this left the arms exposed to sword slashes. As a result “Jack Chains” were developed.
They are simply multi-jointed steel strips which are sewn to the outside arms of the jacket - from shoulder to wrist.
Studies show that they helped to prevent up to 80% of potential arm injuries.

  1. You could say he's 'armless...

    Posted by Sam Campbell. on 19th Jun 2009

    Cheap as, light, tough and full flexability.
    If one can't afford full-plate arms, or simply doesn't want the weight, these are the best option, and when using live steel, these can stop a brusied arm from being a broken one. And a cut gambeson, no one wants that.
    As good an armour as any, and better than none, though one might want to drill in 'arming points'.
