Description
Handmade Viking helmet with Butted Chainmail Camail : 16 Gauge
The Viking spectacle helmet is inspired by early medieval helmets worn by Norse warriors between the 9th and 11th centuries. Named for its eye-guard design which resembles spectacles, this helmet gave facial protection while maintaining visibility, making it a practical choice for Viking warriors in battle.
This Handmade Viking helmet is crafted from sturdy 16-gauge mild steel, which is suitable for LARP and display. The design is like the historical examples found in Scandinavian regions, where spectacle helmets were chosen for their strong construction and unmistakable warrior look.
Attached to the helmet is a butted chainmail camail, made from 10 mm rings of 16-gauge mild steel. This camail protects the neck and upper shoulders and even gives the freedom of movement. The flowing chainmail is for both protection and historical accuracy, giving it the role of a true Viking warrior helmet.
Inside, the helmet is fitted with an adjustable genuine leather liner for comfort and a secure fit. It accommodates most adult head sizes. For those who wear a padded cap underneath, measuring with the cap on is recommended for proper sizing. This makes the helmet comfortable for extended wear during events.
Whether used for LARP, themed events, or viking helmet cosplay, this spectacle helmet is a mix of authentic look with practicality. It serves as both protective headgear and a visually striking piece.
