What knight would look complete without a helmet upon their head? The 16 Gauge Knights Medieval Steel Helmet is a great option for a knight. Made from 16-gauge steel, this knights helmet has a sugarloaf design. The top point of the large helm sits further back than a typical sugarloaf. Other differences with a sugarloaf includes a shorter back with a longer, pointed front. The back also flares out at the bottom edge. This makes it fit better the shape of a human neck.
Next, the helmet has a visor. The visor secures in place with a latch on the wearers right side. It features a cross shape across the center. Then, the cross shape continues onto the main part of the helmet. Each tip of the cross has three curved points, forming a smaller cross-like shape. Across the center bar of the cross, there are two eye slots. Below the eye slots, the visor has small circular holes for ventilation. The holes form a diamond-like grid. On the inside, this helmet features a liner and a chin strap for securing onto the head. This medieval steel helmet is wonderful for historical reenactments, Renaissance faires, and more.

Pretty hefty helmet! Only reason I give it 4 stars is because the visor doesn’t sit well on its open position. If you want the visor up and to stay up, you have to push it all the way back. I tried fiddling with the button mechanism from the inside, but I couldn’t find the position where I’m assuming the visor is supposed to “sit” on the button. Other then that, good solid helmet, holds up well when fighting with friends!
