Outrider Helmet

These curs fight without mercy and aim for your head, so make sure you are protected.

This beautiful polyurethane foam Outrider Helmet from Epic Armoury will keep your head covered in Larp combat. This mixed Celtic and Viking style helmet has a raised central ridge, facial mask and cheek guards giving the warrior all the necessary protection to survive on the battlefield. This maintenance-free foam helmet is best worn with our padded gambeson undercap. Giving the soldier unrivalled comfort and added protection from blows to the head. The mask on this dark age helmet has large openings for the eyes and a nasal guard protecting you from full-on frontal attacks.

Oh no, you think, as a sword and a helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You’ve never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!

But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors with your helmet secured over a padded Undercap. You await the advancing orc raid headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you’ll make it through. At least your helmet feels solid on your head. That’s something to be thankful for, at least...right?

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Undercap is a padded hood that fits over the head and ears comfortably. Made from quilted cotton canvas lined with a soft polyester interior and a medium cotton outer layer, this padding can be worn on its own or as padding beneath a heavy steel or leather helmet.

The Undercap is stitched to ensure the padding will remain evenly spaced. Secure it to your head by tying the cotton cords under the chin. With its neutral style, the Undercap will work on a wide variety of characters. Match it with other Epic Armoury armours and clothes to fit your unique style!

HISTORY

• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Historically, a high-medieval European gambeson was recorded as being capable of stopping sword blows from penetrating the skin
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail

The massive heat feels like a cyclopean wave shrouding and suffocating every soldier standing on the arid ground outside the city of Etakia. “Stand your ground! Hold the formation!” your captain screams. You notice how the fellow standing close to your left is clenching his spear as one single drop of sweat trickles down your nose and vanishes into the dusty swarm of feet. In a flash of a second the enemy will slam against the front shields, and you and your fellow soldiers will do as you have been trained to. Moving forward slowly as one entity, as a living machine. Sweating and panting. Pushing. Bashing. Killing.

DETAILS

Very few things offer greater protective qualities than steel, when it comes to historical armour. But with steel also comes disadvantages like weight, inflexibility and the need for constant maintenance to protect against rust. Nevertheless, in this day and age, unless you are on the re-enactment or SCA battlefield, you simply don’t need the level of protection that steel affords.

You have travelled a long way to get here, and even though this battle does not hold any greater personal cause for you, the payment more than makes up for your lack of conviction.

“It does not pay to have principles.” Casual pocket philosophy delivered to you by an over-the-hill mercenary, with drunken certainty many miles up the road on the journey, that led you to this livelode. As it turns out, it has become a rule of life for you.

You decide to camp for the night and after tending to your horse, you take off your armour and carefully place it beside your impromptu bed. You will be wearing it at the following day’s engagement and it will protect you just as always ...

Rumours are heard whispered in the hallways of the castle and the straits of the Citadel about a usurper. The crafty lady-in-waiting, that you slept with last night, seemed more exhilarated gossiping about how unknown forces within the court are plotting against the old king and his only son. “Who would possibly want that sad excuse of an heir anywhere near the throne, once the old man is dead”, she had tattled with unabashed excitement.

Gossip is not a part of your duties though. Your paramount task is protecting the life of your king at all times; always alert and armed. You would gladly give your life for this man who has been appointed to rule by the Gods. Just as you put on your helmet you hear loud, agitated voices outside in the courtyard...
