Early medieval spectacle helmet with cheek flaps and chain mail
The spectacle helmet combines robust craftsmanship with the striking appearance of early medieval helmets, as once worn by Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. The carefully applied brass appliqués, the movable cheek flaps, and the close-fitting chain mail not only give this piece visual depth, but also a noticeably authentic character. The adjustable leather inlay ensures that the helmet sits securely yet comfortably on the head, which is particularly appreciated during longer events.
Made of 1.2 mm thick steel, the helmet provides reliable stability without being unnecessarily heavy. The galvanized chainmail neck guard complements the protective area and ensures that the helmet reliably fulfills its purpose in LARP, theater, or historical performances. With a head circumference of up to around 63 cm and an adjustable inner lining, Beowulf adapts flexibly to different wearers.
The spectacle helmet is a suitable addition for anyone who values solid, historically inspired equipment. In combination with chain mail, a tunic, or early medieval clothing, it creates a harmonious overall look that is both visually impressive and functionally convincing.
