Great until it grabs some skin or hair
Have you ever worn chainmail without an undershirt? Or gambeson? It feels neat at first. Never had to worry about pinching. It didn't grab any hair. The metal will feel cool and smooth all night. But oh Lord, the awful pain it will bring to unprotected virgin nipples. Like surfing for a hundred years without a rash guard all in one hedonistic night concentrated on the area less than two dimes. NEVER AGAIN. A couple bandaids or pasties the next time and all is good.
I think you'll be fine with just a top sheet between you and the chainmail.
ill buzz my entire body for the heatsinking properties of aluminium, on this infernal heat
And cover your nipples with bandages.
Prevents some forms of murder!

Pretty sure the Nazgûl use stabby weapons, where chainmail is less effective (not completely useless, but an unlucky thrust may split the rings).
That's when you drip some poison into their ear.
And unlike most kinds of chain mail, this one is also effective at protecting the user from any thrusting attacks that could lead to penetration.
Some of us are into penetration
You aren't?
You got Mail
They make loosely braided weighted blankets. They won't be as cool as this, but they allow for plenty of weight while still maintaining good airflow. And a far lower risk of scrotum/labia/nipple tragedy.
Any of those would make a great band name.
Wait holy shit you're right:
Risk of Scrotum
Risk of Labia
Risk of Nipple
Scrotum Tragedy
Labia Tragedy
Nipple Tragedy
Far Lower Scrotum
Far Lower Labia
Far Lower Nipple (uh?)
Lower Scrotum Tragedy
Lower Labia Tragedy
Lower Nipple Tragedy (ok, idk who had a lower Nipple but it's weird that it's in the list twice)
Lower Risk Scrotum
Lower Risk Labia
Lower Risk Nipple
Shit, this might be the biggest combo of band names in a single sentence I've ever seen

I'd be more interested in this for the weight. I want more weighted blanket than I can usually find, and I'm guessing this is heavier than that.
My wife loves hers and hasn't experienced any of the aforementioned tragedies... So far.
I love those! I had bought one with the pockets of beads and hated it, but the braided one is much better. I've had mine for a few years now, and it's still hanging in there.
What kind of classic tragedies do you like?
any suggestions on where too find 100+ lb weighted blankets?
Bros 'tism yearns for the smithy
Ow my leg hair ow my back hair ow my arm hair.
What’s worse is this looks like butted mail instead of riveted mail, so it’ll have lots and lots of little snaggy pokey bits.
I can't tell from the potato quality of the pic, but that's likely. Additionally, for contact with anything that hasn't got a layer of leather between it and me, I would really prefer to have welded rings. Riveted ones are also quite the chafe.
It appears that whatever pattern this is isn't a typical 1-in-4 or 1-in-6, so I have no idea how it's actually constructed.
Rash city for me.
Yeah my pubes would get stuck in there too lol ouch
Buy a razor.... There is no way your pubes are better than that chain mesh.
That's rash city, Jake, rash city!
Do you have an aluminum allergy? I have a nickel allergy, aluminum is something I can usually count on to be safe since it’s not usually alloyed with nickel.
It's a mild one, but extended contact like that would be very irritating.
Fuck, now I want to get into making chainmail. Time to pick up another hobby I guess.
Careful, from what I hear its an incredibly time consuming one
That's an understatement.
If anyone does want to get into it, don't do steel. Steel is cheap as shit, but you'll get carpal tunnel before you finish your first bag, belt or tie.
Idk if you can get like 16 gauge aluminum wire, but that would be far easier to work with. Or brass. just don't do steel
Oh fuck I was just thinking about how to solve my need for a heavy blanket while not constantly overheating and waking up.
Is this how those people ended up with random piercings/earrings all over their body? Like Xerxes in 300.
Seems like you would want to use stainless steel instead of aluminum if you're going for weight.
Stainless is an insulator of heat. In fact, it's used in 3D printers to avoid heat traveling up the path where the filament is fed in from.
Copper with a silver or rhodium plating would be a good choice otherwise. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum, and silver does as well, but is also hypoallergenic.
What about sound?
He wakes everyone within a hundred foot radius every time he tosses & turns
Earplugs were a game changer for my sleep.
