Product description

In the early 15th century, kettle hats with very wide brims, sometimes including a visor, appeared in Germany. These helmets were often worn in combination with a chainmail camail, aventail, or a steel bevor. This type of helmet sometimes resembled a German variant of an early sallet, from which the German sallet later developed. Helmets like these were mainly used in the Holy Roman Empire. The sloping brims of this kettle hat reduce the impact of blows or projectiles on both the helmet and the head. This type of helmet was so effective that even aristocrats wore it.

This kettle hat can be worn either half on the head, for an optimal field of vision, or lowered over the eyes. The way this helmet is worn closely resembles that of the sallet.

Medieval helmets like this were very popular among medieval infantry. This unique kettle hat is based on 15th-century originals, which were also worn by crossbowmen, as depicted in manuscripts and other medieval visual sources. It provides facial protection and features a visor.
