Cabasset Helmet with Facial Guard – 16th/17th Century Steel Helmet
\nThe Cabasset Helmet with Facial Guard is based on helmets that were popular in Europe in the late 1500s and early 1600s. This kind of helmet came from Spain and Italy but it was used by pikemen, musketeers and infantry soldiers all over England, Germany and the Low Countries. The tall, almond-shaped skull and wide brim were meant to deflect sword blows and protect against downward strikes. The extra facial guard made it safer in close combat. \n \nThe inside is padded with foam for comfort and long wear. It is held in place with a leather chin strap and a steel buckle. This helmet is both realistic and long-lasting, making it great for Renaissance-era soldiers, Spanish conquistadors, English Civil War re-enactors or any other early modern infantry portrayal. \n \nArmor Arena promises to offer the best armor at the lowest price, so this Cabasset Helmet is a great choice for beginners, experienced reenactors and costume departments. \nKey Features:
