    Great Helmet I’m not an expert on historical helmets, but as far as I can tell this looks really accurate when comparing it to an illustration presented during a college history lecture. I do not have any padding to to say how well this will fit, and this is my first helmet, so son’t have much to compare it to. This is really nice for the price though. It had a very minimal amount of rust and came in quickly. I really enjoy having this as now I am one step closer to reclaiming the Holy Land. Deus Vult!

    alright I had prematurely reviewed this product and have a few new things to say after testing it. It fits really nice with some padding, but squishes the nose a little. It offers great protection, but when hit from the back, it may cause the face plate open with enough force. This was with a heavy polypropylene chinese broadsword, however, so I wouldn’t worry too much. That variety of sword is designed with the idea of putting a lot of weight towards the blade rather than the grip. The helmet is near impossible to put on alone without a mirror. It has some sharp edges towards the opening, but nothing too dangerous. Visibility is great, and seems accurate as far as I can tell. I am no expert on historical armor, though. All I can say is that there are no obvious historical flaws as far as an amateur like me can tell.

    It’s not perfect but looks nice The visor knocks open easily in sparring when the helmet is struck, and most reenactments will not allow this helmet as the eye slots allow for blades and spearheads to slide through without any buffer. It has good visibility and looks simple and nice, but is slightly undesirable for actual combat or reenactment outside the backyard with friends
