Description: Late 14th Century Crusader Knight Visored Helm Gothic Armor for SCA, LARP, and Reenactment: Sugarloaf Helmet The Sugarloaf Helmet is a remarkable and recognizable late 14th-century medieval helmet design that gets its name from its conical cranium, which mimics the shape of a traditional sugar loaf. Because of its powerful facial protection and menacing appearance, this design was preferred by crusader knights and warriors from the Gothic era.

A strengthened visor with enlarged triangular eye slits for wide visibility, a sloped conical crown, and breathing holes on the visor for ventilation during combat are all elements of this helmet, which is made of 1.024 mm mild steel. The visor is readily lifted in between bouts by pressing a locking mechanism above it, which keeps it firmly closed while in use.

The faceplate is embellished with a beautiful steel cross that has lily-shaped ends, adding to its historical and aesthetic significance. The steel buckle and chin strap that come with the helmet guarantee a secure, combat-ready fit.

Features: An antique sugarloaf pattern from the fourteenth century Perfect for historical reenactments, LARPs, SCA warfare, or as the focal point of any knightly armor display.

Step onto the battlefield of history or dominate your next reenactment event with this stunningly accurate and combat-ready 14th Century Sugarloaf Helmet. This isn't a flimsy costume piece; it's a functional piece of armor crafted for the modern-day knight, reenactor, and collector.

Inspired by the helmets worn by Crusader knights and European men-at-arms during the high Middle Ages, this great helm (or heaume) embodies strength, protection, and medieval engineering. Its distinctive sugarloaf shape was designed to deflect crushing blows from swords and maces, making it a vital piece of knight armor for any serious enthusiast.

KEY FEATURES SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP COMBAT-READY CONSTRUCTION: Forged from heavy 1.2mm high-carbon steel, this helmet is built to withstand the rigors of stage combat, live-action role-playing (LARP heavy combat), and historical reenactment. It’s durable, solid, and offers real protection.

AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL DESIGN: We've meticulously studied historical examples to create a helmet that is true to the 14th-century period. From the iconic conical top to the flat-topped sugarloaf silhouette, this is a museum-quality replica.

FULL FACE PROTECTION: Features a fixed front plate with precisely cut ocularia (sight holes) and breathing holes (vents) across the faceplate. This design offers maximum security while providing adequate visibility and airflow for the wearer.

SECURE ADJUSTABLE FIT: The interior is equipped with a thick, comfortable leather liner and an adjustable leather chin strap with a solid brass buckle. This ensures a snug, secure, and personalized fit for various head sizes, preventing the helmet from shifting during movement.

FUNCTIONAL VISOR PLATE: This is a one-piece helmet where the visor is integrated into the front plate. The design is characteristic of the early great helm evolution before separate pivoting visors became common.

HAND-FINISHED AGED: The steel boasts a beautiful, authentic battle-worn finish that mimics the look of aged, seasoned armor straight from the Crusades. The subtle brass accents around the sight and breath holes add a touch of nobility.

VERSATILE USE: Perfect for medieval reenactment, Renaissance Fair outfits, SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) events, cosplay, LARP, theatrical productions, or as an impressive display piece in your office or man cave.

A JOURNEY TO THE PAST: THE SUGARLOAF HELMET The sugarloaf helmet emerged in the late 13th and early 14th centuries as an evolution from the earlier flat-topped crusader helmet. Its key innovation was the curved, conical top—reminiscent of a traditional sugarloaf—which was far more effective at deflecting direct blows than flat surfaces.

This type of helmet was worn over a smaller mail coif and a padded arming cap for comfort and additional shock absorption. It was the preferred head protection for knights and men-at-arms across Europe, from the fields of France to the holy lands of the Crusades. Wearing this, you are not just buying a helmet; you are owning a symbol of chivalry, faith, and medieval warfare.

WHO IS THIS FOR? This combat-ready medieval helmet is the perfect centerpiece for:

The Historical Reenactor seeking authenticity for their 14th-century European kit.

The SCA Fighter or Buhurt enthusiast looking for a classic great helm design.

The LARPer who values realism and durability in their gear.

The Cosplayer creating a flawless Crusader, Templar Knight, or general medieval character.

The Collector and history buff who appreciates finely crafted replicas.

The Decorator wanting a unique, conversation-starting display ite
