Crafted from durable materials such as steel, the Kettle Hat SCA Helmet features a distinctive dome-shaped crown with a wide brim that curves down to protect the wearer’s head and shoulders. The brim provides excellent coverage against downward strikes and projectiles, while the reinforced construction ensures reliable defense in combat scenarios.
What sets this helmet apart is the addition of an aventail—a flexible chainmail curtain that hangs from the helmet’s brim to protect the wearer’s neck and upper shoulders. The aventail is typically made of interlocking metal rings, providing both mobility and protection against slashing attacks. This feature enhances the helmet’s defensive capabilities while maintaining historical accuracy.
The interior of the helmet is lined with leather for comfort and fitted with an adjustable chin strap to ensure a secure and snug fit during vigorous activity. Some variations may also include additional leather suspension systems to customize the fit to the wearer’s head shape.
In keeping with the spirit of historical reenactment, the Kettle Hat SCA Helmet may be embellished with period-accurate details such as rivets, designs, reflecting the wearer’s personal style or affiliation within the SCA community. Whether engaged in SCA, combat, battles and participating in medieval festivals, this helmet evokes the martial spirit of the past while providing essential protection for modern-day warriors.
