Combat helmet based on the Gjermundbu Viking helmet.

The helmet comes with a protective steel cage hidden behind an enclosing riveted mail aventail. The cage offers additional protection for the areas beneath the rim of the helmet. With authentic design, this helmet is perfect for full contact Viking fighters wanting a good, protective piece. 

The helmet is large enough to allow most people to wear it with a padded hood. The size can also be adjusted for smaller heads through additional padding inside the top part. You can find a padded hood here: Hufa, Padded Hood

We advise the 12 gauge helmet with a padded hood for full contact fighting.

Product number: 3932

MEASUREMENTS

We recommend wearing the helmet with a padded hood if it is used in combat.

- Side to side: 8.7" (22 cm)
- Front to back: 9.5" (24 cm)
- Depth of bowl: 6.7" (17 cm)
- Circumference: 27.5" (70 cm)

This helmet is based on the Gjermundbu Viking helmet - the only one known example of a complete Viking helmet in existence. The name comes from the excavation site in Gjermundbu in Norway. The helmet dates to the 10th century and has a "spectacle" guard around the eyes and nose, in addition to protective mail attached to the skull of the helmet.

Fantastic Helmet for the price!
Review by Jefferson W. on 7 Jul 2023 review stating Fantastic Helmet for the price!
This helmet is not only constructed very well and truly is made for contact sparring, its suspension along with a good arming cap makes for a very comfortable helmet. It has a bit of weight but is not overly heavy if you are use to wearing period style helms made for full contact fighting and with chain attached. It has a bar grill under the chain for added protection for the face and neck which is great. Externally it is a nice, period-looking helmet. I would like to see a version/option with perforated steel in the oculars for added eye protection, but you do sacrifice the period appearance for that added safety option (which is not a current option with the helmet). That said, most helms do not have that without custom requests for a smith/forge. I also like that the Grimfrost makers mark is on the helmet.

I completed my first solo workout with the helmet today and will be putting it into action tomorrow at training with my fighters.

All in all I am extremely happy with this helmet and I expect this helmet to be in active service at weekly trainings as well as combat tournaments for many years to come. Once again, fabulous product and fabulous customer service, part of which was quick shipping and well wrapped/protected packaging methods.

I highly recommend this helmet. I highly recommend Grimfrost as your "go-to" source for period gear and clothing.

My Grimfrost hoard so far
Review by Tamas F. on 26 Jul 2022 review stating My Grimfrost hoard so far
My shopping experience with grimfrost thus far has been awesome, I recommend the site to all new members to my HEMA/reenactment club. I have a whole list of things I still plan to purchase so you'll be hearing from me in the near future. I've been a fan of the shop since it's launch. I thoroughly love everything I have bought.

fine looking helmet
Review by Curt W. on 13 Jan 2022 review stating fine looking helmet
Got my new combat helmet from Grimfrost today. It has a good liner, and bars front and back under the aventail for extra protection. Havent fought in it yet, but its an outstanding helmet from good people.
