Product description
This sallet is based on 16th-century originals. Its popularity is evident from the fact that this type of helmet remained in use for over 100 years! These helmets were often mass-produced, with large numbers made in a short period of time.
The neck guard provided the wearer with excellent protection against overhead projectiles, while the visor offered a good field of vision combined with optimal facial protection. This lower-profile sallet was worn by both infantry and cavalry. The patinated finish adds an extra touch of authenticity.
The sallet can be worn in various ways in combination with a bevor:
-
Straight on the head, visor and bevor open – provides optimal visibility and airflow.
-
Straight on the head, visor open and bevor closed – offers good visibility and protection for the lower face.
-
Straight on the head, visor closed and bevor open – provides maximum protection.
-

-
