This English sallet inspired by 15th-century medieval helmets is a historically styled reproduction featuring the distinctive shape of one of the best-known helmet forms of the Late Middle Ages. Its characteristic rounded skull and extended rear section create the recognizable silhouette associated with the sallet.
The helmet is made from 1.6 mm thick steel and features a relatively simple, functional design. The curved lower edge and extended rear section provide the helmet with its characteristic late-medieval appearance, while the side fittings add authentic-looking historical details. A padded lining is integrated into the helmet to provide a more comfortable fit and improve its positioning on the head. A leather chin strap helps keep the helmet securely in place.
The sallet became an important helmet type during the 15th century and was used by warriors and soldiers in various parts of Europe. Its characteristic construction provided protection for the head and rear of the neck while leaving the face relatively open, allowing good visibility and freedom of movement.
This fully wearable medieval helmet is ideal for medieval reenactment, Living History, LARP, historical events, theatre and film productions, as well as for collectors and medieval-themed displays. Its understated design makes it easy to combine with a wide range of late-medieval armour and 15th-century costumes.

Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece.
The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain helmets (and armour in general) on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
