The sallet is based on 16th-century originals. Its popularity is evident from the fact that this type of helmet was in use for over 100 years! These helmets were often mass-produced, with large numbers manufactured within a short period of time. The neck guard provided the wearer with excellent protection against overhead projectiles, whilst the visor offered a good field of vision combined with optimal facial protection.
This lower-profile sallet was worn by both infantry and cavalry. The helmet is constructed from 1 mm thick steel.
The sallet may be worn in various ways in combination with a bevor:
Straight on the head, visor and bevor open – permits an optimal field of vision and airflow.
Straight on the head, visor open and bevor closed – offers good visibility and protection for the lower face.
Straight on the head, visor closed and bevor open – provides maximum protection.
Tilted on the head, visor closed and bevor open – permits a wide field of vision and good airflow.
Tilted on the head, visor and bevor closed – combines a wide field of vision with enhanced protection.
