This Sallet is in the taller and rounded style popular in medieval Italy; the visor can be tilted upwards and it has a great range of motion. It can be fixed into place with a closure hook. A riveted plate gives protection to the neck and it has some articulation so as to not hinder neck movement. The blackened interior of the helm is finished with a padded cotton suspension liner which is adjustable with its included leather cord. An integrated chin strap of leather with a steel buckle keeps the helmet in place upon the head.

 

The Sallet, the helmet which superseded the earlier Bascinet, gives good protection to the top, side and back of the head, as well as some of the neck. Some variants, such as this one, included a visor to fully complete the defense of the head. The taller, rounder ones were typically Italian in style or inspired from the Italian city states. The sallets with a shallower dome and extended neck protection were more typical of the German Principalities.

    A fantastic helmet with a great price! This helmet is fantastic. It does come with a few scratches but that is fine. It is a well made helmet and would make a great addition to any collection. I did a review on it, so go and see it looks on my head.

    Solid helm. An Italian classic! This helmet comes looking just like it does in the picture. It is heavy, but not overly so. The cotton padded lining is very nice, but since I have a small head, I wear an arming cap underneath (yes, Kultofathena does arming caps as well!). With the average sized head, it will probably be a snug fit as it is. Several of my friends tried it on without the arming cap and it fit them just fine. The helmet is very solid and is very beautifully finished! I am very satisfied with this purchase, especially for this price! If your wondering if you really need this or not, you totally need to buy this helmet!

    Great with minor issues This is a lot of helmet for the price. The liner/suspension does a great job, even though I still use a gel arming cap since I have a small head. I did take off a star though because mine came with a crack in one of the corners of the visor. Also, the leather strap is too far back so it chokes you instead of sitting under your chin. If you engage the latch vision is just ok, however if you don’t engage it you can push the visor down further and open up that visor slit, then you have great field of vision. The fit is nice, I don’t notice much restriction of motion. I will need to tweak that chinstrap system, but you’ll have a hard time finding a better helmet for this price, especially if you have a smaller sized head as this is the smallest off-the-shelf sallet I could find. It also just looks dang good, it’s more interesting than a typical sallet without going off into the cheesy fantasy realm.
