{"product_id":"ketelhoed-14e-eeuw-2-mm-battle-ready","title":"Kettle hat, 14th century, 2 mm (battle-ready)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 14th century, kettle hats like this one emerged, featuring an increasingly pronounced sloped brim. Improved metalworking techniques made it possible to produce this type of helmet in one piece, enabling mass production and lower costs. The kettle hat—named for its resemblance to a cooking pot—was widespread throughout Europe between the 13th and 15th centuries and was worn primarily by foot soldiers, though knights sometimes adopted it as well, for example during extreme heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad, sloped brim deflects downward blows and projectiles coming from above, significantly reducing the impact on head and helmet—so effective that nobility also wore this helmet. This battle-ready reconstruction is made from 2 mm steel with a rolled edge all around and a continuous ridge reinforcement. The interior is blackened and fitted with a riveted, adjustable padded textile lining, complete with an adjustable leather chin strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the broad brim, the wearer maintains good vision and hearing, while the head and shoulders remain well protected. Suitable for show combat and training \/ sparring within re-enactment—not for LARP. Available in sizes M and L.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ulfberth","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":54064048603464,"sku":"ULF-HM-58-M","price":137.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":54064048636232,"sku":"ULF-HM-58-L","price":137.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/ulf-hm-58_ulfberth_helm_helmet_eisenhut_stahl_geboerdelter_rand_polsterinlay_mittelalter.jpg?v=1789408317","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.com\/en-be\/products\/ketelhoed-14e-eeuw-2-mm-battle-ready","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
