Kettle Hat

Epic Armoury’s Kettle Hat is a steel helmet inspired by infantry armor used during the Middle Ages. The Kettle Hat’s brim is broad and sloped in order to protect the head and face from weapons, projectiles and the sun. Wear this helmet with a metal coif for additional neck and cheek protection.

Secure the Kettle Hat by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and full-grain 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.

• Available in sizes M and L
• The helmet comes with a leather fitting and a loose foam band for internal adjusting
