Description
The Medieval Kalota Helmet stands as a solid example of the protective headgear worn by warriors in the 13th and 14th centuries. Forged from 18-gauge mild steel, it offers a balance of strength and practicality, crafted to endure the rigors of battle and the demands of reenactment. The steel is shaped carefully to deflect blows while providing ample coverage to the head.
Inside, the helmet is fitted with a leather liner, a crucial feature that cushions the wearer’s head and helps absorb shock. This lining also allows the helmet to sit comfortably and securely, preventing it from shifting during combat or movement. The adjustable leather strap, fastened by a brass buckle, ensures a snug fit tailored to the individual’s head size. With an inner circumference of 68 cm, it fits most adult heads comfortably.
