The German Police are bringing back an oldie but goodie for self protection. Chainmail. Due to the rise in machete and axe attacks, some police are donning a tried and true method to protect themselves. It definitely looks cool and functional for this fall season!

@Vergennes I assume they only wear that when identified threat exists - or do they wear it on normal patrol? If it is then it must get very uncomfortable after few hours leave alone 8 hour shift.

Is that thingy heavy? How long do they wear it at a stretch?
As long as it protects them they should wear it.

My nephew has applied to join the special constabulary - part time. It's great way for young person to gain experiance of real life and develops character. His big lad and is into serious weight lifting. And here is the crazy thing. He is 6'3'' tall, built like a tank. Religious like hell. Full on beard but shaved head. Looks like a Chechen warlord. His gonna scare the hell outta people.

I made and wore chainmail and the answer to How's wearing it? is ...

it depends.
​

It depends on the caliber of the wire rods used.
It depends on model and coverage of the piece(s).
It depends on how strong and endurant you are.

Not much help but true, Tay.

Protection against flying shrapnel and micro projectiles, i guess.

The French Gendarme hails its roots in the medieval period.

Nice. But shouldn't there be lighter materials beside steel (I presume what they're made of).
