Slavic Medieval Helmets

Slavic helmets in this category are built for full-contact historical combat: repeated impacts, clinch pressure, and crowded exchanges. The shell geometry and coverage focus on keeping the helmet stable under contact, reducing “nose-dive” movement and preventing the edge from dropping into the line of sight.

Protection is concentrated where real hits accumulate: crown, temples, back of the head, and the face line. Depending on the model, the design uses protective elements and reinforcements while keeping workable vision and breathing at pace. Edges and joints are finished to reduce snag points and limit damage from glancing blows.

Fit is based on a considered dome shape and correct sizing for typical head anatomy, with room for a padded liner. Strap and suspension tuning helps keep the helmet centered during pulls and impacts, spreading pressure around the perimeter to reduce neck fatigue over longer rounds. Setup usually comes down to choosing the right size and adjusting the suspension/liner to your kit.

For club use, serviceability matters: riveted assemblies, replaceable straps, and straightforward maintenance keep the helmet running through a season. Manufacturing is guided by historical sources and period analog prototypes, with combat-oriented nodes adapted for modern impact loads. The build is made with common tournament inspection criteria in mind, but approval depends on the specific event rules and on-site checks.
