Product description
This burgonet is a replica of one of the most commonly used cavalry helmets from the British Civil War (1642-1649). Helmets like this were widely used throughout Europe. In the British Isles this helmet is nicknamed Lobster pot. Unlike its predecessors, this helmet has an optimal field of vision, which is protected by a visor consisting of three bars. In addition, this helmet has a neck protector that consists of several plates. This helmet is equipped with an inlay and chin strap. If you want to wear extra padding, measure your head circumference while wearing it. The padded liner already attached to the inside of the helmet is usually sufficient. The hem insert can be removed to create more space in the helmet.
