Epic Armoury Trojan Hoplite Helmet

Product description

Hoplites were the heavily armed infantrymen in the armies of ancient Greece. Hoplites fought in a formation, also called phalanx. The armour and equipment of a hoplite is called the panoplia and includes a bronze helmet, also known as kranos. These helmets protected a large part of the face such as the cheeks and nose and left space around the eyes for a good vision. This helmet is suitable for LARP battles, theater and cosplay.

Maintenance & care
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your armour regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper.

Choosing the size that fits you best
Add 3,5 cm to your head circumference if you wear an arming cap under your helmet.
Add 2,5 cm to your head circumference if you wear a chainmail coif under your helmet.
Add 6 cm to your head circumference if you wear both an arming cap and a chainmail coif under your helmet.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)– polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)– soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
