Chainmail is good because it's able to deflect blows from many weapons and block arrows. It was even better than Roman plate armour. At the Battle of Jaffa, many Arab witnesses said that Richard the Lionheart was a god on the battlefield because all their weapons were unable to penetrate his armour. Eventually, the Europeans began to develop weapons that were able to penetrate chainmail as if it were trading cards.
