A variant of the medieval great helm, the sugar loaf helm possesses a more conical top than the original helmet design. The 14th Century Gilded Sugar Loaf Visored Helmet displays a golden cross shape over the front of the face. The steel helmet has a leather chin strap. As is common in helmets of the style, thin slits serve as eye holes, and other small openings appear along the front. Great helms sacrificed ventilation and peripheral vision in favor of the vastly superior protection offered. This unique medieval helmet, though, finds the best of both worlds with a visor that lifts to expose the face. Small hooks keep the visor in place during battle. No set of medieval armour can be complete without the right headgear, so be sure to check out this fantastic Crusader helmet!
Please note that steel thickness may vary slightly due to the handcrafted methods used in the manufacture of this item.
Be sure to wear this helmet with an arming cap for enhanced comfort and safety. And remember to check out our helmet stands for the best way to both store and show off your helmet with pride!

This is a beautiful heavy-duty helm. It is quite heavy but extremely durable. A few small gripes however, are the two eye-slots are not lined up with each other well making it look kind of goofy, and the spring lock to keep the visor open is very very difficult to push down to unlock it. Overall nice look though, and I will definitely be using it.
