In medieval times armor chainmail was used to defend against blows from a sword or arrows. The flexibility of the Chin mail made it wearable by the owner and helped ward off the blows.

Chain mail
My husband James is modeling the chainmail. I think he makes a good-looking knight.A few summers ago a friend taught me how to make chain mail. I used stainless steel 16-gauge wire and made the suit you see pictured. It took about 3 months and was a fun project.
The different words for chainmail, are mail, chain maille, chain mail or chainmaille. Mail or Maille is what it was usually called in medieval times.
Chain mail is made of small medal rings linked together to form a mesh. I used a gig to wind the medal wire around a rod and the results looked like a spring. The spring was then cut, leaving me a pile of rings. I used pliers to work the rings making the shirt and hood (Coif).
My chainmail was a lot easier to make than how it was made in medieval times where the metal had to be made and cut with primitive tools and welded together.
In medieval times armor chainmail was used to defend against blows from a sword or arrows. The flexibility of the Chin mail made it wearable by the owner and helped ward off the blows.
The Proper word for the chainmail shirt is the "hauberk" and the hood a "coif" while chain mail mittens were called "mitons."
We aren't sure who invented the chainmail but the earliest found was from a Celtic chieftain's gravesite located in Romania in the 5th century BC.
By the 14 century mail was being replaced by the less expensive and more easily made plate armor. Instead of a full suit of chain mail a solider would use a combination part plate armor and mail. Chainmail being in the smaller and more flexible areas.

- This is great for Renaissance fairs or historical re-enactments. I can't imagine having to wear that though, it must've been real exhausting and heavy for the people who had to wear it.
