Description

Viking Vendel Helmet : This is inspired by the legendary Gjermundbu find, the only complete Viking helmet ever discovered. It has a domed multi-plate crown, a spectacle guard and an attached chainmail aventail for maximum battlefield coverage. Designed for combat activities or display, this helmet shows the rugged heritage of Viking-era craftsmanship.

Historical Viking Design : From 16-gauge mild steel, this vendel helmet provides strength and is comfortable for long wear. The 9mm, 16G butted steel rings form a protective camail, making it an ideal viking helmet with camail for protecting the throat, neck and shoulders. Its multi-plate dome is just like the Norse archaeological finds, producing a highly authentic steel viking helmet suitable for collectors and history enthusiasts.

Functional Chainmail Aventail & Spectacle Guard: The defining feature of this viking vendel helmet is its spectacle guard, to shield the eyes and face. The chainmail aventail gives full-coverage defense. Inside, a leather liner gives comfort and stability, helping distribute weight evenly.

Inspired by the Gjermundbu Helmet: This design takes inspiration from the famed Gjermundbu helmet, an iconic discovery and the only near-complete Viking helmet ever found. The original artifact dates to the late Viking Age and shows whatNorse warriors used to wear. This modern interpretation honors that legacy.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Wipe the helmet and chainmail after each use to remove moisture and dirt
  • Apply light oil to steel plates and chainmail to prevent rust
  • Store in a dry environment or padded bag to avoid scratches
  • Condition the leather liner occasionally for longevity
