15th Century Sallet Helm

Preferred by crossbowmen, archers, spearmen and even cannoneers when rapidly developing firearms appeared on the battlefield. Infantry troops willingly sacrificed the extra protection of closed helmets for a better view and more air. The 15th Century Sallet Helm makes an excellent reenactment or dress helmet. Constructed from 16 gauge steel.

Please note: This 15th Century Sallet Helm is an open faced helm and will not meet SCA requirements without a face guard.
