Suitable for a wide variety of historical periods from the 6th to 12th century. A popular helm with Viking, crusade and Norman era reenactment and Living history groups.

The helm has a full riveted aventail (camail) made from round riveted rings which helps to protect the neck, face, and collar bones. The rings start just below the mouth level so breathing is not impeded. 

The helm has an internal circumference of 67cm which enables the wearer to also fit a suitable padded cap. The helmet has a leather lining suspension that can be adjusted to better fit the wearer. The interior of the helm is also blackened to improve corrosion resistance.

The helm weighs approximately 4.25kg.
