No helmet rings truer as a classic knight’s helm then this Crusader Great Helmet. This helmet remained a potent protector of warriors for a reason, and that reason was primarily the high degree of protection that this helmet offered to its wearer. Of course, no helmet was without its drawbacks, as the great helms of old happened to be quite hot and restrictive. Luckily, modern techniques have helped to lessen those drawbacks, making this helmet a great choice when it comes to high protection and that old, knightly look and feel. The helmet is crafted from 16 gauge steel, which makes it heavy and durable, as well as quite strong and protective. It features a brass cruciform decoration on the front, as well as rectangular eye slots and a multitude of small circular cut-outs that act as ventilation, making it easier for the wearer to breathe and speak. The helmet also features an adjustable leather liner and a chin strap, both of which help to secure the helmet onto your head and sure that it stays there, even in the thick of combat. There may not be any such thing as perfect protection, but you can bet that this Crusader Great Helm comes close to providing as much, thanks to its solid level of construction.
Be sure to wear this helmet with an arming cap for enhanced comfort and safety. And remember to check out our helmet stands for the best way to both store and show off your helmet with pride!

The helm is a great addition to my Holy Crusader outfit! Definitely recommend some sort of padded cap when wearing in combat. A solid blow will literally ring your bell!

Best helmet I have ever received. Along with some templar and a ring belt it looks wonderful and sits perfectly on my helmet stand. Well worth the price!

This helm is great. It’s sized properly to fit an arming cap and mail coif if you have about an average sized head. Everything about it is great! I recorded a video review (before I had a good recorsing set up, but it goes over it well!)
I definitely recommend!

Can’t ask for better for a crusader look. It’s perfect paired with a good arming cap and is adjustable to ensure it sits right. Beware for the regularly clumsy as you will have a big blind spot and can’t see your feet so trips and stumbles are likely (don’t ask how I know).
