The barbute has undergone many changes since it first hit the field of war in the 15th century. This Visored Barbuta Helmet expands upon the original design by adding an effective visor, which doubles your protection and makes for an intimidating sight.
Originally, the barbute, or barbuda in Italian, was a visorless war helm distinctive for its T- or V-shaped opening, which gave the wearer a clear field of vision.
This helmet’s design is supremely versatile, offering several options for wearing it. You can put it on the visor, for example.
The visor can be opened in two different ways, as it can be rotated up, or one pin on the right side of the helmet can be pulled, allowing the helmet to rotate off to the side (the pin can even be left open, as the helmet features a hook closure for keeping the helm secured in its closed position).
You can also pull the pins on both sides of the helmet to remove the visor entirely. The helmet is crafted from very good quality steel, making it an excellent addition to any set of metal armour. A soft cloth or dry cloth should be used to preserve its shine and finish.
The helmet’s interior features a leather liner for comfort and making small adjustments to fit perfectly on the head. It is a full-sized replica helmet that is fully wearable, and when worn, it stands up rather well to the rigors and impacts experienced during LARP combat and light reenactment. Pair it with a suit of chain mail for added historical accuracy and defense.
Please be aware that these items are handmade. Slight deviations in pattern, color, and shape may occur. To ensure the best care, store your helmet in a dry place when not in use.
Wear this helmet with an arming cap for enhanced comfort and safety. And remember to check out our helmet stands for the best way to both store and show off your helmet with pride!
