<h2>The Battle Helmet</h2>
<p><strong>Battle helmets</strong> are head protection items. The helmets provided protection to one of the most important areas of our body, the head, which contains the brain, one of the most important organs in battle since it gives the impulse of movement to the muscles and elaborates the combat technique.</p><p> Battle helmets can protect different areas: the basic ones protect only the head up to the neck, others protect the face, and others also the neck and throat.</p>
<h2>types of battle helmets</h2>
<p>The Battle Helmet through the ages has left us innumerable jewels that have evolved with new materials and shapes.</p><h3> japanese and asian helmets</h3><p> These helmets offer complete protection but a reduced field of vision. They protected the face, the neck, the throat and obviously the whole head.</p><h3> greek helmets</h3><p> they used to protect the head and part of the face (cheeks and nose). Sometimes, depending on the model, it could have a plume. There are Trojan, Corinthian and Spartan helmets.</p><h3> roman helmets</h3><p> here we also find many models, some with plumes and some with earmuffs. Gladiator helmets might have a face or nose protection and others might even have masks. Army helmets used to have earflaps, sometimes a plume, and almost always a back neck guard.</p><p> Among the Roman helmets we find the imperial helmets, centurion helmets and gladiator helmets.</p><h3> viking helmets</h3><p></p><p> these helmets rarely have "horns". Most likely, they wore nose guards, visors, and in some cases earmuffs or chain mail to protect their necks. In this section we can find spangenhelm helmets and other models of Nordic helmets.</p><h3> medieval helmets</h3><p> in medieval times many models of helmets were used, each one more or less completely protecting the head. Among them we have, for example, the barbuta, the headpiece, the capacete, the sallet, the cervellera, the kettle, the burgoñota and the helmet.</p><h3> conquerors helmets</h3><p> They are helmets that usually cover only the upper part of the head, for example the morion helmet and the capacete.</p><h3></h3><h3></h3><h3></h3><h3></h3>
<h2>decorative and functional helmets</h2>
<p>The decorative helmets are designed to decorate and some of them to wear in a parade. The steel and decorations on these helmets would not take a beating. Functional helmets can be worn and some of them can be used in medieval combat as the thickness of the steel allows adequate protection. They usually have a thickness of more than two millimeters.</p>

<p>These helmets may have appeared simpler, for the simple fact that if they had decorative parts they would be damaged and even dangerous for the imminent. Keep in mind that these replicas are faithful to the originals, and for this reason, when using them, they could be damaged or broken, like the original helmets of the time.</p><p> All helmets can be made of steel and sometimes have brass details and an interior leather protection.</p>
<h2>How to wear a Battle Helmet</h2>
<p>Battle helmets can simply be worn without further protection if they come with a leather bonnet inside and if they can be tied to the chin. Those without inner protection are usually worn with a bonnet so that the head is not in contact. directly with the hull steel.</p><p> In case you want to wear the helmet with chain mail, it is always convenient to put the padded hat first, put the chain mail on top and the helmet last.</p>

<h2>Greek and Spartan Helmets</h2>
<p>In our collection you will find <strong>Spartan, Corinthian Greek warrior helmets</strong> . These are faithful reproductions worn by hoplites and Greek warriors of ancient Greek helmets with their spectacular plumes and characteristic tails.</p><p> The Medieval Greek Empire was one of the largest in Europe and spanned from the Dark Ages of Greece ca. 1200 BC C. and the Doric invasion, until the year 146 a. C. and the Roman conquest of Greece after the battle of Corinth. It is generally considered as the seminal culture that is due to the foundation of Western civilization.</p>
<h2>roman helmets</h2>
<p>In our extensive catalog you will find replicas of Roman, Italic or gladiator imperial centurion helmets. These are Roman helmets with crest or without crest. The plume, crest, served to make himself visible from behind for his soldiers. In imperial times it was no longer used.</p><p> As is often the case, the military helmets of the Roman legions evolved over the years from the Montefortino Helmet, the Coolus Helmet or the Galea Helmet to derive around the 3rd century AD in the late Roman Cresta Helmet.</p>
<h2>viking helmets</h2>
<p>The traditional Viking helmet was made of iron and held together with leather straps. They used to have eye and nose protectors.</p><p> As for the helmets that you see with horns, they fall within the Viking myth and fantasy that have been sent to us in series and movies, since in reality Viking helmets never had horns.</p>
<h2>medieval helmets</h2>

<h2>What is chain mail?</h2>
<p>A Mail Coat is an armor, shirt or tunic that, like iron, bronze, steel or aluminum armor, was used to repel attacks from white weapons. Its resistance is determined by several factors such as the type of riveting, the material, the density and the thickness of the rings.</p>
<h2>How much does chain mail weigh?</h2>
<p>The chain mail that we sell varies in weight depending on the size, the material and the thickness of the rings, but we have said that they <strong>weigh between 8-15 Kg.</strong></p>

<h2>Types of chain mail (functionality)</h2>
<h3>functional chain mail</h3><p> Most chain mail that is sold for recreation is made of <strong>steel, galvanized steel, zinc or aluminum</strong> and is tanto functional. When we talk about functionality, in this case, we mean that it can be put on and worn for a while, obviously we do not value functionality because of the resistance of steel against a knife.</p><h3> decorative chain mail</h3><p> They can be metallic and are usually made of aluminum or fabric simulating the design of a steel chain mail. Aluminum chain mail has the advantage of being lighter and more bearable if you have to wear it for many hours, but on the other hand, they are more expensive.</p>

<h2>PROBLEMS WITH STEEL</h2>
<p>The biggest drawback today when using replica chain mail that is made of steel is <strong>the weight</strong> that must be supported.</p><p> The maintenance of the chain mail is also another great challenge <strong>due to oxidation</strong> since the material is steel but NOT stainless, so in a few days or weeks it can rust and spoil if we do not maintain it correctly every time it is stored.</p><p> For its <strong>maintenance</strong> , it is usually effective to oil it and store it in a closed bag and, of course, store it in a dry place.</p><p></p>

<h2>Who wore chain mail</h2>
<p>All the cultures that have worked metallurgy have made their own chain mail. It is currently used for historical recreation. The chain mail used by the Romans, <b>lorica segmentata and lorica hamata,</b> or in medieval times the <strong>chain mail with its executioner</strong> as a complement, are known.</p><p></p><p> The task of dressing with a Chainmail requires the help of a second person since it is quite complicated due to its weight. Today there are less heavy chain mail imitations in materials such as aluminum.</p><p> The chain mail protected perfectly from transverse cuts although it was not effective for stabbing weapons that could penetrate it if they were blunt.</p>
<h2>chain mail today</h2>
<p></p><p>Chain mail is currently used for historical recreations but it is also true that there are specific chain mails that are used in diving as a precaution against sharks.</p><p> Also professions that require working with knives continuously, such as butchers, often use a chain mail glove as protection against accidental cuts.</p>

<p>The gauntlets or medieval mittens are the metal gloves, the parts of armour to protect fingers and hands during battle. During the XIth and XIIth century, the gautlets consisted of a chainmail sack; in France, people wore them with a hand opening to easily remove the fist. Then leather gloves were made, with an iron roundel on the back and a chainmail buttoned over the sleeve. From the early XVth century, the metal gauntlet was detached from the leather glove, allowing the contestant to wear a split-finger gauntlet on the left and the mitton on the right hand. This depended if he had to fight with different weapons. In the XIVth century, separated fingers gautelets appear; they consisted of several pieces of steel, accommodated to the divisions of the hand.</p>

<h2>what is an executioner</h2><p> An executioner is a piece of armor and comes as a chain mail "hood". This "hood" is made of rings that linked together provide a defensive layer against attacks from bladed weapons. A good executioner could save the life of a warrior since the neck is very delicate and any blow could be fatal. The executioner usually also protects part of the chest, depending on the model.</p><p> This part of armor was widely used from the Middle Ages, when knights and warriors began to use it in their battles. It is a classic piece of Templar warrior armor. Being an uncomfortable garment, it lost importance over the centuries, since it took away the warrior's agility and field of vision. The executioner was widely used by samurai warriors who wore a special model that also protected part of the face and left only the eyes free.</p><h2> types of executioners</h2><p> There are different styles of executioner, depending on the historical era or the people who used it:</p><h3> medieval executioner</h3><p> It is the classic executioner that covered part of the chest, the shoulders and left the face completely uncovered since it only reached the forehead. It was widely used in Europe.</p><h3> ruff</h3><p> it was an executioner that covered only the throat and part of the chest and shoulders. The head was completely uncovered. It used to be used in the Nordic or Central European countries.</p><h3> japanese executioner</h3><p> perhaps it is the executioner that provides more protection but less agility and field of vision. This executioner covers a large part of the chest and shoulders, the head, the throat and the face up to the eyes. Very common is Asia, especially in Japan.</p><h2> executioner material</h2><p> The executioner is made up of rings of different metals, such as:</p><h3> Steel</h3><h3> Carbon Steel</h3><h3> Stainless steel</h3><h3> Galvanised steel</h3><h3> nickel plated steel</h3><p> Some hangmen come with leather straps to fasten around the neck.</p><h2> carvings of the executioners</h2><p> The executioners do not go by sizes, they have a standard size. They are suitable for practically every head size and can be put with a hair clip so that the hair does not get tangled between the rings and so that it is not uncomfortable to wear.</p><blockquote><p> If you wear a Templar suit or chain mail, surely to complete your outfit you will need an executioner. The size of the executioner is standard and many of them can be put on with a crespina and a medieval helmet. <strong>If you need suggestions, information or simply want to order an executioner, you can count on us.</strong></p></blockquote>

They were normally metallic or made of resistant materials such as leather.</p><h2> origin of armor</h2><p> Towards the 10th century there were still primitive armors, that is when they arrive from the 11th century, at the beginning of the Crusades. From the time of the Middle Ages, metal-forged armor represented a great advance compared to the previous ones made of skins with metal fragments.</p><p></p><h2> Weight and pieces of armor</h2><p><!-- x-tinymce/html --> A complete armor consists of numerous articulated pieces, having come to meet up to 250 in a single combatant with a weight of about 25 to 30 kilos, but the most common and important medieval armor is reduced to about twenty-five, distributed in the four head, trunk, and upper and lower limb groups.</p><h2> armor material</h2><p> The functional armors usually forged in steel usually come prepared to grab with leather straps and buckles. Before buying an armor or any of its pieces, you have to be clear about whether it is functional or only <a href="/202-armaduras-decorativas">decorative</a> .

<p>The shoulder pads are that part of the armour that does not receive much attention, but in the medieval days, warfare days, they saved the arms of more than one warrior. As the whole armor, shoulder pads were made at the beginning, with animal leather, chain mail and some piece of iron. A curious fact to note is that many of the warriors wore only one pad, mostly on the left, so that the right arm did not lose the mobility needed to handle the sword. This is why many armours were are asymmetrical. With the idea to also protect the right shoulder, the craftsmen began making articulated shoulder pads, incorporating both leather for flexibility, as iron to receive the blows.</p>

The greaves of warriors and conquerors are pieces of armour that cover the leg from the knee to the bottom of the foot and they were made of many different materials including fabrics, leather, and iron.. The first greaves we know were used by the Greeks and later popularized by the Roman Empire.
Since its beginnings, the greaves have experienced a number of changes, the Romans manufactured them with cloth, leather and metal pieces and in medieval Europe existed the greaves that protected the whole leg.
Of course, the ones that covered the entire leg were made with several parts to form an articulated armour and provide greater mobility to the warrior.

The gorjal of the armor is the old part that is fitted to the neck for his defense. This piece of the armor of silver came to replace the gola mesh or bishop's cloak, which in the end was because of pieces of iron articulated and, therefore, should not appear until the mid-FIFTEENTH century.

<h2>Rings for chain mail</h2><p> The chainmail is a tunic or a shirt made up of metal rings and that served to protect the warrior from cuts or thrusts from enemy weapons by blocking the blades and not making them come into contact with the body.

Its effectiveness then depends on its rings, the smaller or more concentrated per centimeter of mesh, the better it will defend against the cores of white weapons.</p><h2> Types of rings for chain mail</h2><p> The chain mail can be composed of several types of rings:</p><h3> Galvanized steel rings</h3><h3> Zinc coated carbon steel rings</h3><h3> riveting lists</h3><h3> open</h3><h2> Craft Chainmail with Rings</h2><p> These rings are ideal for those who want to make chain mail or repair damaged mail.

<h2>What are bracers?</h2><p> The bracers are protections for the arm and forearm, very vulnerable parts in battle since they are exposed to the blows of the opponents. The bracers provided protection against the cuts that an enemy sword could produce and could be partially protected from blows, depending on their entity.</p><p> The most classic ones usually protect up to the elbow but the versions adaptable to armor can protect up to the shoulder and then fix on the shoulder pads.</p><h2> How are the bracers put on?</h2><p> The bracers are usually made up of a metallic part that serves to protect against blows and on the back they have straps that are usually made of leather to be fixed on the arms. The straps are usually adjustable and usually make the bracers adapt to the arm without risking them moving in battle, which can be uncomfortable and dangerous.</p><p> Sometimes they can have leather reinforcements or a padded part simply so that the skin is not in direct contact with the metal and to cushion the blows.</p><h2> type of bracers</h2><p> There are bracers for all styles that can be adapted to all times since they have been accessories used by almost all peoples; In Roman times, gladiators used bracers that protected the entire armed arm, so that the part closest to the opponent was completely protected. This type of protection could be made of horizontal metal or leather scales.</p><p> Warriors and legionnaires wore short closed metal or leather bracers. The Vikings used to wear protective bracers that covered from the wrists to the elbows. They were composed of vertical metal strips joined together with leather straps.</p><p> In medieval times the bracers used to be adapted to other parts of the armor, such as elbow pads, gauntlets and shoulder pads. The material used was always metal. With the passing of time and the disappearance of white weapons and hand-to-hand battles, the bracers lost their importance, disappearing from the battlefield.</p><blockquote><p> We have bracers of all kinds and for any historical costume. Our pieces are of high quality, some of them are handmade by expert craftsmen in the elaboration of metal armor parts. <strong>If you need help to complete your armor do not hesitate to contact us.</strong></p></blockquote>

<p>The breastplates or plackarts are the pieces of armour responsible for protecting the chest of the warrior. It has been a military mainstay since ancient times and were usually made of leather, bronze or iron in antiquity. With the part corresponding to the back, along with the other body protectors happen to be known as the Armor. Another name for this piece is "cuirasse" (french), metal parts designed with athletic body shape. Plackarts of the German Gothic style were often fluted, a form of decoration that gave straight ridges to the armour. Fluting decorated the armour while also making it stronger, and possibly deflected sword blows by guiding them off the armour. From about the 12th century, knights wore long and flowing surcoats over their armour, which were frequently emblazoned with the arms of the wearer.</p>
