Excavations and drawings from the time show similar shapes with segmented conical crowns connected by metal bands. These shapes are very strong and flexible making them perfect for steppe warfare and early medieval frontier combat.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eArmor Arena stays true to this old design while making sure that today's reenactors and performers are comfortable and their gear lasts. Each helmet is made by hand from mild steel and comes in 14, 16, 18 and 20 gauge. You can also get it in 18 gauge stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance and a smoother surface. There are two finishes to choose from: Dull Finish, which gives the item a weathered look like it has been on the battlefield for a long time and Mirror Finish, which is for ceremonial or display purposes.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe inside of the helmet has soft foam padding that lasts a long time and a leather chin strap with a steel buckle that keeps it on securely while you move or ride.
