Product description

Kettle hats like this emerged during the Crusades, around the late 12th to early 13th century. This type of helmet may have been adopted from Byzantine armies, who wore similar helmets with longer brims. They were worn alongside nasal helmets. Like spangenhelms, these helmets were made from multiple pieces. This type remained in use until the early 14th century, and various versions are depicted in the Maciejowski Bible from 1250. Multi-piece kettle hats were ideal for infantry, as they were inexpensive to produce and could be repaired during campaigns.

This type of helmet was so effective that even aristocrats wore it. The brim provided protection against downward blows and projectiles. The helmet offers a clear field of vision, good hearing, and optimal protection. By the early 14th century, the kettle hat evolved into more advanced forms made from a single piece of steel, with a sloped brim that deflected projectiles from above, reducing impact on the helmet and head.

This helmet is made from 1.6 mm thick steel and features an adjustable leather liner.
