Best Answer

it all depends on how big the maille garment is.

a short maille byrnie (roughtly the shape and size of a t-shirt) should normally weigh about 8-10 kilogrammes. (17-22 lbs), while a larger hauberk, which has sleeves and goes down to the wearer's knees could weigh closer to 18-20 kilogrammes (39-44 lbs).

(exact weights of course vary, not only with how big the armour is, but also how its made - most European maille was made by linking 4 other rings into each link. Some parts consisted of 8 links connected to 2, making it stronger and stiffer - but ovbiously, twice as heavy - but was often used for small throat protection peices called Standards... Some Japanese chain (called kusari there) was linked with 1 link into 6 rings.

This really depends on the material that the chainmail is being made out of, if it was aluminum, then a vest might weigh 5-7 pounds, however a stainless steel vest could weigh 13-16 pounds.

Mail is pretty heavy. I have handled a mail shirt for a small man, and I would guess it weighed seven or eight pounds.
