In addition to the main fix, I've put together an optional update that improves the appearance of chain mail armour for most characters.

You can download this fix from the Daggerfall Unity forums or here: df-chain-mail-fix.zip

It appears that Bethesda originally decided to make chain mail armour pieces semi-transparent by making them from a checkerboard pattern of metallic and transparent pixels. However, later on they updated the chain mail to have a solid look (still with checkerboard patterns of dark and light metallic pixels), similar to Arena. However, this was only done for human characters, both male and female, and the males still did not get the proper non-transparent chain pauldrons.

I decided to fix this, and manually filled in the missing pixels using the human female chain pauldrons for reference:

I also updated Argonians and Khajiit (the Elves already use the new chain mail variant in the main Papredoll & Inventory Fix) to use the new version of mail armour:
