One of the defining characteristics of this Lough Henney Helmet is its handcrafted steel construction.

The helmet is made using 14 gauge steel, providing a substantial material choice for customers looking for a traditionally styled steel helmet.

Every helmet is individually crafted and finished rather than simply being a lightweight costume shell. This handcrafted approach allows subtle differences in shaping and finish, giving each piece its own character.

What makes the construction special?

✔ Heavy 14 gauge steel
✔ Handcrafted construction
✔ Historically inspired shaping
✔ Carefully finished surface
✔ Traditional armor-making approach
✔ Available in mild and stainless steel

The result is a helmet that looks and feels like a serious piece of historical armor rather than a generic costume accessory.

⚙️ Mild Steel or Stainless Steel

The Lough Henney Helmet can be ordered in different metal options.

Mild Steel

Mild steel is a popular choice for reenactors and collectors who want the traditional appearance associated with historical steel armor.

Benefits include:

• Traditional steel appearance
• Strong historical character
• Suitable for historical armor collections
• Excellent choice for period-inspired reenactment kits

Mild steel should be kept clean and dry and maintained appropriately to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel provides an alternative for customers who prefer easier long-term maintenance and increased resistance to corrosion.

Benefits include:

• Easier maintenance
• Attractive polished appearance
• Suitable for collectors and reenactors
• Long-term display convenience

The choice between mild steel and stainless steel ultimately depends on your intended use, maintenance preferences and desired appearance.

📏 Available Sizes

Choosing the correct size is important for comfort and proper positioning.

The available options are:

Size	Recommended Head Circumference
Medium	22.5–23 inches
Regular	23.5–24 inches
Large	24.5–25 inches

How to measure your head

Use a flexible measuring tape and measure around the widest part of your head, approximately where the helmet will sit.

If you normally wear padding underneath your helmet, take your intended padding arrangement into consideration when selecting your size.

For customers who are between sizes or require a particular internal fit, contact Bareena Emporium before ordering so the appropriate option can be discussed.

🧼 Care & Maintenance

Proper care will help keep your handcrafted steel helmet looking its best.

Mild Steel

Mild steel can be susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture. After use:

1. Wipe away moisture and dirt.
2. Dry the helmet thoroughly.
3. Apply an appropriate protective oil or corrosion-prevention product.
4. Store it in a dry environment.
5. Periodically inspect the steel for signs of corrosion.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel generally requires less maintenance, but it should still be cleaned and dried after use.

Avoid storing either version in damp environments for extended periods.

⚠️ Safety & Intended Use

The Lough Henney Helmet is a handcrafted historical armor product.

If you intend to use it for SCA, HEMA, HMB, staged combat or another organized combat activity, always check the current rules and equipment requirements of your organization, event or marshal before use.

Equipment requirements can vary between organizations, events and combat disciplines. Do not assume that a historical helmet automatically satisfies a particular organization’s current safety standards.

For display, cosplay, photography, living history and general reenactment applications, ensure the helmet is used responsibly and appropriately for the activity.
