Close helmet

An anaglyph image of a closed helmet. 3D red cyan glasses are recommended to view this image correctly.

The closed helmet covers the entire head and was seen mostly during the crusades. The closed helmet outdated the barbute in the 14th, or 15th Century. The closed helmet completely covered the head, and was usually seen with chainmail attached to the bottom of the helmet for further protection of the neck. The helmet normally had holes made on the front of the helmet while still being smelted, and as well as additional holes were made on the lower front of the helmet for breathing through the mouth. In 1120, the Order of the Temple adopted the closed helmet as one of the basic pieces of armor for the Knights Templar of the faction.

It is not to be confused with the later close helm.
