Galea Roman Helmet

Epic Armoury’s Galea Roman Helmet with Red Plume is a helmet inspired by the classical legionnaire’s helm. Featuring ear-flaps, a brow bar, cotton inlay and an open face, this helmet is a comfortable solution without sacrificing vision or protection. The helm is reinforced with rolled-brass lining around the cheek guards and forehead, and embossed with floral brass rivets.

Secure the Galea Roman Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin to keep it in place. Furthermore, you can secure the earflaps under your chin using the supplied string and eyelets. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.
