Great Helm

Great helm appeared approximately in the end of the XII century in times of Crusades and was in use among cavalrymen until the XIV century.

We made our helmet according to this model of Tophelm

This closed pot helm provides with complete head protection during the combat or bohurt. However, despite of such design, you may breathe free and have a wide arc of vision.

Leather belt with buckle fixes this helmet under the chin.

For more comfortable and safe using, we strictly recommend to wear this bucket helmet over the padded liner. Mail coif will be additional protection.
