Questions about the product Brain hood made of 2 mm steel – suitable for stage combat

Wird geladen...

The skullcap served as additional protection under heavier helmets in the High Middle Ages, cushioning impact energy and providing extra padding for the head. Even without an overhelmet, its 2 mm steel thickness offered effective protection, and it was often worn as a standalone head covering.
What material is the skullcap made of, and what options does this model offer for individual customization or additional protection?

The skullcap is made of 2 mm thick steel and is therefore fully suitable for stage combat. For individual adjustment and additional protection, the helmet can typically be combined with a chainmail aventail or worn as discreet extra protection under other headgear such as great helms or hats. The helmet also features a leather inlay and chin strap for optimal fastening.
What head circumferences do the available sizes S, M and L cover, and is the helmet already equipped with a padded inlay and a chin strap?

The available sizes cover the following head circumferences: - Size S: up to approx. 59 cm

- Size M: up to approx. 61 cm

- Size L: up to approx. 63 cm. The helmet is already equipped with a high-quality, adjustable leather liner and a chin strap.
What historical sources document the use of the skullcap in the 13th century, and what regular maintenance measures are required to permanently protect the non-stainless steel from corrosion?

Historical evidence for the use of the skullcap in the 13th century can be found in pictorial sources such as the Maciejowski Bible manuscript, as well as in archaeological finds, which show that it was frequently worn under the great helm or over a chainmail coif. To protect the non-stainless steel from corrosion, the helmet should be wiped dry after each use and regularly rubbed with a thin film of gun oil or acid-free machine oil. Dry storage and the occasional removal of surface rust with fine steel wool or a polishing paste are also recommended.
