This jousting-style Great Helm is a faithful reproduction of that iconic design, built to withstand the rigors of reenactment and display. Constructed from thick 16-gauge carbon steel, this helmet features a tall, cylindrical shape with a flat top and a slightly tapered lower half. Polished steel plates are arranged vertically and horizontally, secured with heavy metal rivets along the overlapping edges and vertical reinforcement bands. The singular, narrow horizontal vision slit divides the upper and lower sections, offering a wide field of view while maintaining maximum facial protection. Below the eyeslit, two rows of vertical rectangular breathing cutouts provide essential ventilation. The lower rim curves downward into a subtle point at the front, offering ergonomic neck protection. An angled face design channels the energy of blows away from the wearer’s face. Inside, a comfortable leather liner ensures a secure fit for extended wear.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cli\u003e16-Gauge Carbon Steel Construction: Heavy-duty steel with polished finish, vertical reinforcement bands, and riveted plate construction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eJousting Profile: Flat top, slightly tapered lower half, ergonomic neck guard with curved lower rim.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNarrow Ocular Slit \u0026amp; Ventilation Cutouts: Single horizontal vision slit and two rows of vertical breathing holes for airflow and visibility.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLeather Interior Liner: Comfortable fitted leather liner for a secure and comfortable fit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOverall Condition: Great condition—structurally sound, fully functional, and ready for battle, display or reenactment.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Medieval Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42717534355538,"sku":"JA021","price":299.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7092\/files\/IMG_0895_e4bee27c-c59b-4f56-bd14-c0069e292a04.jpg?v=1788808997","url":"https:\/\/www.medievaldepot.com\/products\/jousting-great-helmet-16-gauge-steel-with-neck-guard","provider":"Medieval Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
