This design is a step up from the flat-topped Crusader Great Helm. It has a unique conical top that looks like a \"sugar loaf.\" It is designed to better deflect blows and arrows that come from below than earlier versions. This helm is the best way to look like a heavy cavalryman, a Templar knight or a high-ranking man-at-arms during the classic age of chivalry.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe make this helmet at Armor Arena with a focus on how well it works and how it looks like it did in the past. The helm covers the whole head and neck, giving you better protection while keeping the scary, faceless look that was popular on the medieval battlefield. This helmet is the perfect mix of realness and strength for SCA heavy combat, LARP events, or even making a movie.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe know that some activities need more protection than others. So, we have this helmet in a lot of different steel gauges. Our 14-gauge mild steel option is the best choice for heavy contact re-enactment because it can take the most damage. The 16, 18, and 20-gauge options are lighter and still look good for LARP, costume or light combat use. We also have an 18-gauge stainless steel version that doesn't rust or corrode for people who want something that doesn't need a lot of care.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eEvery helmet comes ready to wear, with a soft foam lining inside and a strong leather chin strap that is held in place by a steel buckle. You can also change the look to fit your character. For a knight in shining armor look, choose our Mirror Polish. For a battle-hardened, gritty look, choose the Dull Finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"4261\" data-end=\"4277\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\\n\u003cul data-start=\"4279\" data-end=\"4999\"\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4279\" data-end=\"4379\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4281\" data-end=\"4379\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHistorically inspired \u003cstrong data-start=\"4303\" data-end=\"4327\"\u003eSugarloaf Great-Helm\u003c\/strong\u003e, typical of late 13th \/ early 14th century Europe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4380\" data-end=\"4459\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4382\" data-end=\"4459\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eClassic \u003cstrong data-start=\"4390\" data-end=\"4416\"\u003econical \/ pointed dome\u003c\/strong\u003e design for efficient deflection of blows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4460\" data-end=\"4516\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4462\" data-end=\"4516\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong data-start=\"4475\" data-end=\"4514\"\u003e14, 16, 18 and 20-gauge mild steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4517\" data-end=\"4594\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4519\" data-end=\"4594\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAlso offered in \u003cstrong data-start=\"4535\" data-end=\"4563\"\u003e18-gauge stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e for improved rust resistance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4595\" data-end=\"4670\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4597\" data-end=\"4670\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eFinish options: \u003cstrong data-start=\"4613\" data-end=\"4638\"\u003eDull (authentic look)\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong data-start=\"4642\" data-end=\"4668\"\u003eMirror (display-grade)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4671\" data-end=\"4717\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4673\" data-end=\"4717\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eFoam-padded interior for long-wear comfort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4718\" data-end=\"4769\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4720\" data-end=\"4769\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSecure \u003cstrong data-start=\"4727\" data-end=\"4767\"\u003eleather chin strap with steel buckle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4770\" data-end=\"4866\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4772\" data-end=\"4866\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSuitable for \u003cstrong data-start=\"4785\" data-end=\"4864\"\u003eLARP, SCA, reenactment, medieval markets, cosplay, theatre, film production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4867\" data-end=\"4942\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4869\" data-end=\"4942\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eDurable craftsmanship from Armor Arena with \u003cstrong data-start=\"4913\" data-end=\"4940\"\u003elowest price guaranteed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n \t\u003cli data-start=\"4943\" data-end=\"4999\"\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"4945\" data-end=\"4999\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eGreat for both active use and as a collector’s piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\\n \n\\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"5006\" data-end=\"5042\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eFAQ – Common Questions \u0026amp;
