Neither rain, shine, nor downwards volley will best you in the Konrad Steel Kettle Helmet. Essential armour for medieval infantrymen, it protects the wearers face with a wide, downturned metal brim attached to its round skull cap. Handcrafted from steel, this medieval helmet features a distinctive shape commonly seen late in the medieval era. A strip of metal is riveted across the top of the skull, reinforcing its protective structure. A must-have for any medieval or Renaissance foot soldier, the Konrad Steel Kettle Helmet is great for LARP and costume use. We recommend wearing a padded arming cap underneath the helm for proper safety and comfort.

Please be aware that this armour is handmade, and it can be thicker than listed here. As such, it is intended mainly for costuming, light reenactment, and LARP.

Solid, fairly well constructed, very comfortable inner padding. My head is about 23.5 inches circumference and using a thin linen coif this feels light, airy, and comfortable. For someone with a bigger head like mine wearing a thick gambeson and mail overtop it would probably feel pretty tight. Overall, really pleased.
