Kettle Hat Helmet

March into medieval ranks with the unmistakable silhouette of a kettle helmet on your head. Inspired by 14th-century infantry gear, the chapel de fer or “iron hat” offers an authentic battlefield resemblance for collectors, LARPers, and reenactors.

This 19-gauge steel helmet brings presence and utility to any armored ensemble. The archer-inspired shape helps deflect downward strikes, protecting your skull in lightweight melee applications. The wide brim shields your eyes from the sun and rain, the reinforced center band adds durability, and the internal liner and adjustable chin strap add comfort and stability.

With these details, you can wear the chapel de fer all day in battle reenactments, French and German medieval conventions, and other events. You will have no trouble breathing, hearing, or blocking projectiles.

You can also wear this helmet with an arming cap for enhanced comfort and safety, or use helmet stands to show off your helmet in style.

Because our chapel de fer is handmade, there may be slight deviations in colors, patterns, and shapes, but this can also be advantageous for battle-worn authenticity. Add this helmet to your loadout now, and take advantage of our Royal Rewards program for more savings.
