This is a Grimfrost's version of the Gjermundbu Viking helmet, especially made with reenactment fighting in mind. As all Viking helmets it is crafted in the shape of a rounded cap. Made from two plates, it has a metal strip reinforcement running from the back, across the crown and all the way down the spectacle guard, resulting in good deflective properties. Another metal reinforcement runs along the brim. The characteristic "spike" on top of the helmet has been removed, since it can catch weapons during fighting. The spectacle guard offers good vision, as well as excellent protection of the cheeks, nose and mouth.

With authentic design, this is perfect for both reenactors and for those wanting a historical Viking helmet on display. 

We advise the 12 gauge helmet with a padded hood for heavy fighting: Hufa, Padded Hood

Product number: 2711

SIZE GUIDE

If you are unsure of your exact size, go for a larger helmet. That is generally better than a small helmet. A large helmet can be fitted with additional padding to make it fit.

SIZE MEDIUM- Fits up to 61 cm circumference.  Also measure your head side to side and front to back to ensure that the form fits your head.

- Side to side: 7.9" (20 cm)
- Front to back: 8.7" (22 cm)
- Depth of bowl: 5.9" (15 cm)
- Circumference with lining: 24" (61 cm)
- You can remove the lining for a more spacious fit.

 

SIZE LARGE - Fits up to 64 cm circumference.  Also measure your head side to side and front to back to ensure that the form fits your head.

- Side to side: 8.2" (21 cm)
- Front to back: 9" (23 cm)
- Depth of bowl: 5.9" (15 cm)
- Circumference with lining: 25" (64 cm)
- You can remove the lining for a more spacious fit.

The Gjermundbu Viking helmet is the only one known example of a complete Viking helmet in existence and 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.

Real Deal Helmet
Review by Jamie K. on 14 Nov 2024 review stating Real Deal Helmet
This helmet is one of the things I’ve always wanted to order from Grimfrost, and I’m happy I finally did! The helmet is real, not a toy. The fit is as expected but be sure to measure before if you plan to buy one. I’m pleased to own such a well made, quality piece. Craftsmanship is 110%

Review by Travis M. on 7 Oct 2024 review stating A helm to pass down to my kids!
What a great helmet!! Almost 9 lbs and solid. I have to figure out a way to wear a small pair of reading glasses so I can see better when wearing it.

Review by David P. on 28 May 2024 review stating Qualidade de produto, super resistente,
Qualidade de produto, super resistente, alguns rebites estavam soltos mas nada que umas pancadas com o martelo não resolvam. Tamanhos são reais, contudo tive de remover o suspensor de couro e colocar acolchoamento para maior conforto. Mas isso é algo pessoal. Bom trabalho grimfrost!

Review by Kira B. on 5 Jan 2022 review stating A helm to remember
Amazing piece of gear, beautifuly crafted and will be well loved when the next HEMA season kicks off. I am absolutely amazed at the shipping time from Sweden to New Zealand in less than 10 days right before Christmas. Can't thank the team at Grimfrost enough.

Awesome helmet
Review by Cody J. on 21 May 2021 review stating Awesome helmet
Only had the extra large in stock during the anniversary sale so it's definitely big on me, but it's definitely high quality. It's fairly heavy, which I definitely expected

Review by Otto D. on 29 Jan 2021 review stating First off the quality is
First off the quality is unbelievable I tested with a dane axe to the head and I did not feel anything the blade just slid off and the aventail kept the blade from my shoulder so because of that the craftsmanship is unbelievable filled with rivets for endurance, if the chainmail is this great I'm getting their mail shirt to cover the arms and body

Review by Raechel L. on 28 Dec 2020 review stating This amazing piece of craftsmanship
This amazing piece of craftsmanship was my husband’s Christmas present. He loves it so much! It is absolutely perfect. I have to say the customer service of Grimfrost goes above and beyond. The response to any question I had was prompt. The Aventail is beautiful! I will be making many more purchases from Grimfrost. I highly recommend them!

Bought Thors Hammer Horn and the Helmet without Aventail and both were absolutely brilliant. Shipped Quickly, order was correct and well packaged. Highly recommend to anyone that is trying to look like a Viking or for fancy dress or reenactments.

A real helmet worthy of our forefathers approval!
Review by Kurt F. on 26 May 2020 review stating A real helmet worthy of our forefathers approval!
This helmet is awesome, hand made, and I love the makers mark. I was concerned how it would fit, but the unique leather sizing strap inside makes it easy to resize just by tightening or loosening a string. It is heavy, but surprisingly comfortable to wear. I want to add more to my collection! Great product. On top of that it was on sale for a great price during Grimfrost's 5 years sale.
