Viking Helmet with Chainmail – Gjermundbu ModelThe Viking helmet, also known as the spectacled helmet, is an authentic medieval Northern European helmet dating back to the first half of the 9th century. This model is a faithful reproduction of the only complete Viking helmet ever discovered, discovered in Gjermundbu, Norway.Typically Viking, the helmet features a distinctive "spectacle" face guard and a long chainmail vest that extends to the shoulders, providing effective head and neck protection. It can be historically dated to a period between the 9th and 12th centuries.

Crafted entirely by hand from carbon steel, the helmet is fully wearable and functional. During the Middle Ages, it was also used by heavy cavalry. It is available in various thicknesses—1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm—to adapt to different uses, from combat to historical reenactment.

For maximum comfort, the interior features sturdy leather padding and an adjustable chin strap. This makes it ideal for both reenactment combat and parades and medieval reenactment events.

A stainless steel version is also available upon request, at an additional cost.

During the Middle Ages, helmets underwent continuous evolution, reflecting the high level of armor-making. Knights and nobles developed distinctive styles, transforming armor not only into a means of defense but also a symbol of prestige and identity.
