0:18 looks cool

[Imprudentman]

It would be cool to wear a helmet and go to work, riding in a passenger car, subway or on a motorcycle. And see how it reacts to their business people involved ..... This is a joke.

[Silur435410]

I liked 2:40

[Hell6125]

0:33 That is my favorite type of helmet, the Sallet :)

[RoyalDaftPunk]

0:20 Assassins creed Borgia Knight Helmet :D

[xRxSxFx2xPxGx]

[Dracoti]

[Pier2pie]

[AgelessGlory10]

my fav is at 2:45

[elgostine]

personal favorite, the gothic ensemble of sallet and bevor. it just looks.. awsome, ery robocop and just coldly awsome/

[tony1234872]

No.1 is called a s, it is optional for the viser, instead you may decide to link an aventail to the helmet, which is a coif without a hood. at 00:26 that is also another Bascinet, if you look carefully at the side and back of the helmet, there are either small holes or brass knobs which are used to link and aventail to.

At 00:32-33 that helmet is called a Sallet, it is optional to have a bevor with it, a bevor is a semi gorget, and a gorget is a steel neck brace. At 00:51 that is a Barbuta.

[burinec]

3:46 looks like a football helmet

[lordlen8972]

[Bullets4Brains6]

Thanks.



[Bullets4Brains6]

I've been looking for a certain type of helmet that I see in a lot of High Middle Ages References but I have never figured out what it's called or where to find one. Most recently I saw it in 1952's Ivanhoe. He wears it under his chainmail as a sort of liner for his great helm.

It's circular but flat on the top. It's like Museum Replica's Transitional helmet without the faceplate.

Does anyone know what it's called or where I can find one?

[Dracoti]

@Bullets4Brains6 I dont know the name, but i do know it was fairly common to wear a another, smaller helmet underneath the great helm. try emailing an armoursmith, he ought to know.

[tony1234872]

@Dracoti The name of the helmet you are thinking of was called the 'secret helm' it was similar to a ww2 British paratrooper's helmet, it had no brim, it was simply a bowl.

[Dracoti]

@tony1234872 Indeed it was :D cheers!

[lordlen8972]

@Bullets4Brains6 is it kinnda like the under helmets they had for greathelms? i;ll have to watch ivanhoe again..

[Bullets4Brains6]

@lordlen8972

Yeah it's exactly like that. I wish this thing would allow you to send links I could show you. If you go to google images and type in Ivanhoe 1952 there's a picture of Ivanhoe wearing it in the top row.

[kolotiti]

@Bullets4Brains6 that part is a mail coif... it is put on a padded hat ..... on that did a knight put a great helm... later were used early versions of bascinet and finaly a bascinet with visor..... it was also there to make more layers of protection when the great helmet was penetrated or when on footcombat as protection istead of great helmet that was unpractical(they did put great helm down when in footcombat....)... i dont rly know other name than mail coif....

[Jehster619]

at 55 seconds the helmet looks like a spartan helmet

[fitz5902]

r these all yours?

[Finkeren]

The far majority of these helmets aren't medieval. Most of them are renaissance close helms, burgonets or barbutes.

[wariscomeing]

is higher the gauge of the steel better or what i dont get how its works ? like is 18 gauge better then 14 gage plz someone tell me ? hahaha

[xZEUSERS]

nice collection,but the song is wierd

[SMChurchill]

An interesting mix of good replica's of real helms (& possible even some genuine articles) and pure 'fantasy/SCA' helms :-)

[jayhoop82]

Ooh, number 3, the Pembridge Great Helm, a nice repro there!

[twhitehead2010]

and who wants to tell me at 3:01 that that helmet is historical.

[Dracoti]

it's a bascinet with a duelling visor (sword).

don't know what the disc's are for though.

we know that bascinets where historical and the visors (if fitted) could theoretically be improvised to serve any purpose.

it is the dome you should take note of, thats what gives it away.

further, the title was meant to let people know that these are metal helmets for medieval combat etc. I am aware that there are some fantasy/inacurate helmets included as was my intension to do so.

[azrael6699]

@Dracoti The discs were meant to cushion blows on the temple area of the head. They were bevelled outwards and had a little give to absorb some of the impact. This helped keep the fighter from being knocked out or even seriously injured from a strong blow.

[Dracoti]

thank you for informing me :)

though having these would negate any blows glancing of would it not? I suppose a horizontal strike is not going to anyway, though vertical hits will... sacrafice one thing for another?

If theres any other information you would like to add please do :P

[twhitehead2010]

at 1:19 that looks like the medival equivalent of the EVA helmet from Halo 3.

[Grymbaldknight]

Yes, the czechs make good armour.

[000000AEA000000]

kovex-ars. Good Choice. Exellent crafting on those.

[OnkelLui01]

I cannot say anything about their armour but their weapons are surely not the best. Most of the swords are for reenactment, means heavy and innaccurate weapons for for maxmimum reliablity wich cannot be realised in real sword.

I prefer Lutel and Albion who make real weapons with good balance.

[OnkelLui01]

My opinion to kovex ars

[Grymbaldknight]

nice selection! i particularly like the barbute with the sallet visor from 0:57 to 1:01. although there is no evidence that this particular helmet ever actually exsisted, its seem logical to make a helm that still provides good protection when the visor is raised.

[Ranziel1]

Why the House M.D. theme?

[TheMedievalwarrior]

lovely harness at 1:40

[TaganMorgul]

not a "medieval" but 20-21-st-eval ;)

[zachr120]

I wore the 3rd and sixth one at a reniassance fair today

[Guardians555]

were these helmets made for intimidation, because allot of them were very impractical.

[Dracoti]

yu must remember that they all come from different time periods and for different purposes (but all to protect your head ofc).

i admit, there are a few that i cannot clasify, but ''intimidation'' was more of a bonus, you wouldnt sacrafice it over protection.

though i think it's more at home with larp...

if you would be a soldier on a medieval battlefield and on your right is an evil looking dude, and on the left a normal looking fella, who would you attack or avoid?

[Guardians555]

In that case I go after the normal looking guy and then pray the evil one doesn't kill me.

[kooger888]

nice video i never seen so many of hemlats like these

[SverdIFjell]

At 0:27, i have that helmet, mine is not the same as that one, bit its the same style, Bascient, and i must say beleive it or not, it has good vision, and if you are still looking for a helm, try ebay, thats where i got mine and its actually high quality 18 gauge
