The Olmutz Nasal Helmet turned out to be a great addition to my LARPing gear. I wore it during a weekend event that involved a mock battle, and I couldn’t have asked for better protection. The helmet is not only visually striking with its authentic medieval design, but the craftsmanship is evident as well. It’s made from sturdy 12-gauge steel, and I was impressed by how comfortable the inner leather lining felt after hours of wearing it.
During the event, while engaging in some spirited swordplay, I felt completely secure—as if I was part of history itself! The chainmail camail did an excellent job of safeguarding my neck, which is often a vulnerable spot in these activities. I did notice, however, that the helmet could get a bit warm if worn for too long under the sun. After the day, I inspected it for any wear and tear, but I’m happy to report that it held up remarkably well, with no dents or scratches.
