The armet is a type of combat helmet which was developed in the 15th century.
It was extensively used in Italy, France, England, the Low Countries and Spain.
It was distinguished by being the first helmet of its era to completely enclose the head while being compact and light enough to move with the wearer.
Its use was essentially restricted to the fully armoured man-at-arms.
On the back of the helmet there is a hole, so you can insert your own plume.
All our helmets are suitable for historical re-enactment parades, exhibitions and above all buhurt (heavy combat), in the latter case it is necessary to choose the 2mm thickness.
Our Armet models are ideal for buhurt (mandatory 2mm thickness), guaranteeing maximum protection, on request the eye holes can be reduced or blocked, thus completely limiting any injury.
