Viking Spangenhelm

Epic Armoury’s Viking Spangenhelm is a skull cap helmet inspired by by the Vikings of the early middle ages. Featuring a cotton inlay, reinforced cap, 10 cm nose plate and chainmail aventail, this helm offers significant protection while also remaining more comfortable and lightweight than a full helm. The chainmail aventail hanging from the back of the helmet protects the ears and neck while also allowing easy head movement from side to side.

Secure the Viking Spangenhelm by tightening the full-grain leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.
