Spanish Morion Helmet

While it is most famously associated with the Spanish conquistadores, the truth is that the Classic Spanish Morion Helm, and others like it, was actually a wide-spread piece that was favored all over Europe, by foot soldiers and officers alike. And for good reason, too, as the helmet was not only cost-effective, but also highly protective, too! This particular recreation is a bit more influenced by classic Spanish design, featuring the same high crest and tall peak, which is not only distinctive but also highly defensive (the peak makes impacts on the flat of the head much more difficult to achieve), as well as the wide, curved brim, which served to help defend the soldier wearing it from projectiles falling from above.
