Cougars crush the windpipe thereby suffocating their intended prey. I do not see how chain mail will change that fact if the cougar is intent on you as it's prey, and I don't believe they are intimidates by the shiny metal itself either.
PLEASE, put on your shiny new chain mail and video yourself in cougar country. Bonus points for up close shots of the cats mouth around your neck so that we may study the effectiveness of (or not) of the chain mail.
