Leather Viking Helm is modeled after a piece excavated from 10th century ruins in Norway. The “spectacle” type face guard is historically more accurate than the wings or horns typically depicted as the “Viking” look. They’re lighter and more comfortable than steel, while still providing an authentic look and modest protection.

The Leather Viking Helm is made of very thick harness grade leather. The Viking Helm includes an adjustable liner. Leather helms are perfect for reenactors, LARP and even faire goers.

The name Viking is a loan form the native Scandinavian term for the Norse seafaring warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, the British Isles and other parts of Europe from the late 8th century to the 11th century, the period of European history referred to as the Viking Age. The word was introduced to the English language with romantic suggestions in the 18th century. The earliest date given for a Viking invasion is 787 when a group of men from Norway sailed to Portland, in Dorset. They were mistaken as merchants by a royal official and they murdered him, when he tried to get them to accompany him to the king’s manor to pay a trading tax on their goods.
