Knight Crusader Helmet is a style of transitional helmet that dates from the 12th – 13th century. This was a period when the open-faced flat-topped helmets gradually evolved into the more protective Great Helms of later periods.

The Great Helm was a popular helmet used during the High Middle Ages around the time period of the Crusades. This flat-topped cylinder of steel completely covers the head and has small openings for the eyes, providing the absolute most protection possible for combat. A slight curve to the top of the helm helps deflect and lessen the impact of blows. A pure brass crucifix visor adorns the front of the helm. Add padding or lining to make this helm fully functional and ready for practice combat while providing a custom comfortable fitment.
