Viking Helmet

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

When you recieve the package you will notice that the helmet is actually in pieces, which isnt a big deal. You slip the two horns into the sides of the helmet and then slip on the little furry additions to the base of the horns.Visually, it does its job. Its made of the same cheap plastic that most costumes are made of. My only real gripe with it is that the edge where the helmet meets your head is very sharp. The plastic was cut without any kind of rounding of the edges. It will start to bother you if you wear the helmet for more than a few minutes. Also, once you take off the helmet you will have a red line across your forehead from the sharp edges.Would I buy this again? Maybe, but im leaning…
I bought a bunch of these helmets for a viking/opera skit for my sister's birthday. They look great, with some awesome detail. They were pretty easy to assemble, although the horns can rotate some in their holes. The helmets are a good size, able to fit medium sized heads well. Those of us with smaller heads needed to add some padding, and those of us with larger heads just wore it a little high. I gave it only fours stars because the edges on the bottom are rough and my brother complained that it hurt his ears. This hat would be perfect if they lined the inside with rubber or soft material. Other than that, it was the most perfect Viking hat I could find.On a note about the company I ordered…
