Tom “Gunnar” Highline –
I love this helmet! It looks fantastic. The air flow through the chain makes it quite conformable. The mass is just right, not too heavy but heavy enough to feel safe. It is a beautiful addition to my fighting kit.
Lorenzo “Laurents of Eldern” Perales –
Absolute tank of a helmet! This was my first helm in the SCA and it’s still going strong several years later. I bought the mild steel regular size (23.5/24 head circ) and it fits my 23″ head perfectly with room for plenty of padding. Because of the open design, it stays cool with even a light breeze. It looks great and I often get compliments about it. If you’re on the fence, but you like the look and want better-than-standard protection, this is THE helm.
