Product description
This armet is based on early 16th-century originals. The armet was notable for being the first helmet of its time to fully enclose the head while remaining compact and light enough to move with the wearer. Its use was essentially limited to fully armored knights and warriors.
The helmet required a mechanism to open and close for practical wear. A typical armet consisted of four components: the skull, the two large hinged cheekpieces that closed over the chin at the front, and a visor with double pivot points—one on each side of the skull.
This type of helmet was very popular among the aristocracy of the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, France, England, the Low Countries, and Spain. The armet reached the peak of its popularity in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, when full Western European armour had been perfected. From around 1515, the Germans produced a variant in which the downward-extending part of the helmet was much wider, reaching to the ears. The cheekpieces of this type opened sideways on vertical hinges at the edges of this wider neck section.
The helmet can be worn fully closed or with the visor open. The bevor and visor are connected by a steel pin construction, allowing them to be secured together. The visor features ventilation holes and a slit for the eyes. At the back, there is a plume holder for attaching a plume or feathers to the helmet. This medieval helmet is suitable for a maximum head circumference of 66 cm and features an adjustable liner, allowing you to customize the fit to your head size.
