Description   14 Gauge Steel Kettle Hat Helmet The kettle hat or chapel der fer was widely worn on the battlefields of Europe from the 12th to the 15th century and throughout the 16th and 17th centuries in its modified form of the morion or pikeman’s pot. The same basic design of an open-faced helm comprising a bowl and wide brim was resurrected in the 20th century when helmets like the famous Brodie of WWI became standard military headgear. This simple design has remained popular over the centuries because it is relatively cheap to produce, offered good protection during hand-to-hand combat when its rounded shape would help to deflect blows from edged weapons and its wide brim helped to shield its wearer from projectiles that were dropped or shot from above without over restricting their field of vision. Each helm is made of 14 gauge high carbon steel and specifically designed to be battle ready (functional use). The manufacturer, GDFB (Get Dressed For Battle), has been gaining popularity in Europe over the years as the number one supplier of affordable, functional garments and armour for re-enactment and combat use. We are proud to bring you a wide range of GDFB products. (And we adding more every day!) SCA groups have very strict requirements on specs for armor and our GDFB armor is made to be approved!   Features Historically Accurate Replica. 14 gauge heavy carbon steel construction Perfect for re-enactment Fully Functional Design
