Chapel-de-fer helmet

Here is the most popular and most beloved infantry helmet of XIII-XVIth centuries – the good old hat-shaped chapel. Riveted from metal to the image and likeness of an ordinary wide-brimmed hat, chapel-de-fer faithfully served the European infantrymen protecting them both from cavalrymen’s attacks from above and from infantry brothers' halberds mighty strikes.

Yes, the face is vulnerable, but good visibility and breathing freedom compensate somewhat for this disadvantage. Plus, you can always use articulated gorget – bevor – to get out of combat with a jaw and nose intact. Well, or order a version for sports battles – Chapel-de-fer with bar grill. 

Chapel-de-fer helmet is absolutely suitable for SCA, HEMA, LARP, stage performances, Medieval festivals, and reenactment events.
