Crafted from 12-gauge mild steel, the Olmutz Nasal Helmet is designed to withstand the rigors of reenactments and LARP events.

With a practical 68 cm inner circumference, this helmet is designed to fit most head sizes, ensuring that everyone can enjoy its historical elegance.

We’ve also considered safety and maintenance in the design process—each helmet is treated with a protective oil layer to prevent corrosion. This protective coating is easy to wipe away with a dry cloth or oil remover, allowing you to keep your helmet looking pristine and ready for your next adventure.

Whether you’re portraying a humble archer or a mighty knight, the Olmutz Nasal Helmet is a versatile addition to your historical costume collection.
