Medieval & Knight Helmets

About

Medieval & Knight Helmets A helmet is the piece of kit that does the most work for the least square footage. Everything else on a character has to be looked at to register. The helmet reads from across a field. We make steel medieval helmets and knight helmets for larp, festival, and costume use. All hand-shaped from mild steel, all lined with padded leather for a fit that sits between comfortable and forgettable, all built lighter than their historical counterparts so you can actually wear one through a full event. The range covers most of the medieval period and a few centuries either side, from Viking spangenhelms to late-Renaissance morions, plus a handful of fantasy pieces built to the same standard. Browse by style Closed knight helmets The full-face medieval silhouette. Built for presence, made famous by every Crusader painting and tournament scene you've ever seen. Sugar Loaf — A great helm variant from the late 13th century. Conical crown, fully enclosed face, narrow eye slits. The iconic crusader-era look. Visored Barbuta — Italian shell, pivoting visor. Drop the visor for the dramatic closed-face moment, lift it for everything else. Best of both worlds piece. Open knight helmets Face visible, voice clear, peripheral vision intact. What most experienced players actually wear most of the time. Sallet — Mid-15th century, swept-back tail at the neck. Probably our most versatile knight helmet. Wears open or with a bevor for the closed look. Barbuta — Italian, single piece of hammered steel, T-shaped face opening. Fast to put on, excellent vision, comfortable for long wear. Burgonet — 16th century, brimmed, with cheek pieces. Reads as a later-period soldier or officer rather than a classic medieval knight. Viking & early medieval helmets Pre-knight era. Simpler shapes, mostly open-faced, defining silhouettes of the 9th to 12th centuries. Viking Spangenhelm — Segmented construction, iron frame, the helmet you see on most Viking-age finds across northern
