Skall, you used to do videos reviewing weapons and armour used in movies and tv-series! Those were super cool and I'd love to hear what you have to say about the HBO series Vikings! I know the series takes a lot of liberties in placing historical figures who lived 100-200 years apart in the same timeline and creating bloodlines that weren't there, but the raid of Lindisfarne serves as a good set historical date to which you might be able to use as reference.

Dude I have the exact same helmet. I got mine for like $50 maybe $69 tops off of male Amazon. The didn't come with us chain avatail. But the steel I think is the same 14 gauge mild. My big pet heave on wearing it is the sides give me enough space but the front or my faces and the back of my head they are very tight I mean obviously because of the shape of my skull. If I wanted to wear padding for sale 8 some Eastern style Viking fighting I don't know if I'll be able to wear for the front and the back because it's just too tight there but I could wear it for show doing western-style Viking fighting.

I'm a Christian and that Christian joke at the end was funny. About the helm, lemme share something i have learned about motorcycle helmets. They make them either oval or circular. Meaning some people have a thinner heads that are more oblong in shape. And your head looks more oval, so I would guess that the helm is made for a more roundish head. Like you said, armor should be fitted.

crazy glue the leather, hammer a bit (just to make the front flat) all the cylindric shapes around the top of the helm, chip that spike off and replace with a pommel (the ultimate pommel of head butt ending, preferably), and you have the ultimate helmet. oh and add metal until its 3mm thick. you COULD add wool on the inside but we aint men looking for luxury things.

BladeDev Or remove the leather, bundle up your hair and put a hue over it. Then sit the helmet on that double padding.

The arming cap is definitely not a standard piece of attire as far as history can prove however the knit cap made from wool makes a nice padding before a helm is donned. Sheep and their wool were a staple in clothing from the time period, i imagine that if something were uncomfortable as a steel helmet is then putting one on top of a hat makes sense. Especially in the cold.

I used 1 english word that's quite common here, depending on how you write the sentence. And i assume Skalla doesen't know norwegian so i had to write the last 3 words in english for him ;)

1. The helmet do slide a bit if you are not using a cap or at least a bandana. That's because it rolls and slides over the hair. I always tell my clients to use at least a bandana. 2. If I or a friend make a better reproduction of the Gjermundbu, can we send you for review? No promisses needed, don't worry. We just like the idea of the challenge to impress you.

I ended up getting a conical helmet from cult of athena and crafting my own ocular and camail, maybe not the most accurate (who knows) but it looks much better and fits better.

Doesn't look as badass as I imagined. Maybe put a pommel at that spike? That should make it look better. :)

How I see it is not every helmet would of looked exactly the same so the eye bits can be different to what was found on the farm and still be historically accurate.
