Viking Spectacle Helmet

This hand-crafted Viking Spectacle Helmet is forged from durable 16-gauge steel and designed to withstand the rigors of battle reenactment or stage combat. The wide eye guard—commonly called a “spectacle” or “goggle” guard—provides excellent facial protection while allowing for clear vision. The helmet is fitted with an adjustable leather suspension liner and chin strap for secure and comfortable wear during extended use. Its polished steel finish not only enhances durability but also reflects the fierce aesthetic of the Viking warrior.

The “spectacle” helmet design is one of the most recognizable forms of Viking headgear, with historical examples dating back to the 8th–10th centuries. Excavated specimens, such as the Gjermundbu helmet found in Norway, demonstrate how Norse warriors combined practicality with intimidating design. The eye guard was specifically created to protect the upper face from weapons in battle while preserving full peripheral vision—critical in chaotic close combat. Today, these helmets symbolize the strength, bravery, and legendary seafaring culture of the Vikings.
