The helmet consists of steel plates that are attached to each other with steel strips, or Spangen. The helmet provides good protection to the nose, eyebrows, head and neck. The aventail consists of butted chainmail and the rings have a diameter of 10 mm. The inside of the helmet is lined with cotton padding, which you can adjust to your size. You can fasten the helmet with the leather chin strap.
