Mail haubergeon weight

A haubergeon is a type of medieval armor that covers the torso and arms, and its weight can vary depending on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship. Here are some approximate weights for a haubergeon:

• A simple haubergeon made of leather or fabric, with minimal metal plating, might weigh around 5-10 pounds (2.3-4.5 kg).
• A haubergeon made of articulated steel plates, with a more substantial metal construction, might weigh around 15-25 pounds (6.8-11.3 kg).
• A high-quality haubergeon made of articulated steel plates, with intricate design and craftsmanship, might weigh around 25-40 pounds (11.3-18.2 kg) or more.
• A heavily plated haubergeon, with thick metal plates and minimal articulation, might weigh around 40-60 pounds (18.2-27.2 kg) or more.

It's worth noting that these are rough estimates, and the actual weight of a haubergeon can vary significantly depending on the specific design, materials, and construction methods used. Additionally, the weight of a haubergeon would have been even more significant when worn with other pieces of armor, such as a helmet, gauntlets, and greaves.
