Basic Sallet Helmet
$137.00
The sallet was a common enough helmet after their rise during the middle of the 15th century, and for good reason. Helms like this Basic Sallet Helmet were very protective, while also lacking the drawbacks of many earlier great helmets. A typical sallet was a close-fitting helm that offered all the protection of a great helmet. This sallet features a rounded crown with a reinforced ridge that provides strength and durability to the helm. Unlike some sallets at the time, this helmet does not feature a hinged visor, instead possessing only a narrow slit for vision. The back of the helmet extends out and angles down just slightly, which enables this helmet to provide a bit more defense to the back of the head and neck. This helmet is made entirely from 18 gauge mild steel, which makes it a great helm to wear either for costuming or for actual mock or LARP battles. If you want to recreate the look of a medieval warrior, either as a piece in your collection or as an actual costume, than this Basic Sallet Helmet will go a long way to recreating an ancient warriors authentic look and feel.
Remember to check out our helmet stands for the best way to both store and show off your helmet with pride!

snug and close fitting sallet helm, the removable liner is a little flimsy but should give adequate cushioning

Nice sallet for sure, just a few things you should note:
1. No chin strap
2. Nils is right in saying its a snug helmet. At 23″ head circumference, while wearing a padded hood or the liner it comes with, my nose rubs against the face of the helmet. I will try to glue some foam at the back of the helm to push it forward when it sits on my head. Hopefully this works and makes a bevor a possibility.
3. The beaked “nose” on the face of the helm is much smaller/shorter than in the image, which is a big bummer because that’s why I bought it in the first place. It reminds me of a historical sallet with a similar nose. So it being different in that way sucks.
All in all its very nice, but is better suited for smaller heads and might end up more as a display piece for me.
