The Ralf Steel Kettle Hat Helm allows you to take on the role of an 11th century infantryman for LARP and reenactment. Also referred to as the helmet of the commoner, the kettle hat was used widely throughout Medieval Europe. Handcrafted from 18-gauge steel, this helmet consists of a conical dome and wide brim. A central ridge and rivets provide extra protection against blows. Leather buckle straps adjust the fit under the chin. The interior of the helmet has padding for added comfort.
Please be aware that this armour is handmade, and it can be thicker than listed here. As such, it is intended mainly for costuming, light reenactment, and LARP.
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!

I absolutely love this helmet. I’ve got a really large head so the back of the rivets were a little uncomfortable in front, but after exchanging padding for an arming cap it’s perfect! I really doubt most people will have the same problem I had.

I ordered the small thinking it would be okay and well it’s a bit snug, but will still work for what I want to do with it. The quality is wonderful and the built in padding is a nice surprise and also great quality. Overall the product is a great purchase and well worth the price.
