Often paired together
As soon as I had this unboxed and cleaned I was extremely pleased with it. No issues as far as construction or finish. If you’re looking for a quality kettle helmet at a good price, this is a great option.
This Kettle Helm is a very charismatic helm, good for every period. Due to it being 16 guage steel, it’s rather heavy, heavier than I expected, and like most Deepeeka helmets, the liner is glued in. I don’t expect this liner to last long, so I will be getting a padded hood to use when wearing this helm. I recommend others do the same if they want to use this helm.
Thanks, KoA!
