SALE! Medieval Sugar Loaf Great Helmet 16 Gauge Steel

The “Sugarloaf” helm, named because it resembled a conical sugar loaf that was the norm for processing sugar during the medieval period. A type of great helm, the sugarloaf helm provided the advantage of slick sides instead of squared angles which caused a blade to glance off more readily.

Vision impairment was still the same as the traditional great helm but military technology was advancing and it can be readily seen in the shape of this helm.
