Viking Helmet - Ashen

Legend

A warrior whose renown needed no introduction, Ulf advanced forward where others retreated, confident in his abilities even though he fought alone. No one had vanquished him, whether it was groups of enemies far outnumbering him or great, remorseless beasts hungry for blood. It is told that after a pilgrimage to the gods, they had recognized his remarkable valor and bravery and that they had bestowed armor worthy of only the most courageous warriors upon him. Worked from the hide of the great black wolves, this set of armor protected Ulf from the swords and axes of his enemies and always left him unscathed. An appropriate gift for the lone wolf that he was, the ancestral runes decorating the armor gave him supernatural strength and uncanny swiftness in battle, while the dark tones of the leather added to Ulf’s reputation and aura, both imposing and terrifying. While no one had managed to injure Ulf and his legendary impregnable armor, his axe had yet to find similar resistance…

Description

This Viking-inspired helmet is designed for all lovers of Nordic culture during medieval, LARP, or reconstitution events. The visor style, inspired by the historical Gjermundbu helmet, adds a touch of history while wonderfully complementing the fine and detailled laser engravings on the leather, offering an impressive look and a great head and face protection. Additional leather parts were worked to the sides of the helmet to add to the covered zone and are attached with a leather lace to allow better adjustment, making this helmet the perfect headgear for Norse warriors, barbarians, berserkers, and Vikings in LARPs.
