Ming Frontier Troop HEMA Helmet Overlay (明邊軍 Style)

Inspired by the elite Ming Dynasty Frontier Troops (明邊軍), this helmet overlay takes historical flavor and smashes it into modern HEMA practicality. Based on the same durable build as our Sallet overlay, but re-shaped into the proud, flared dome of a 14th-century Chinese border soldier.

A true show-stopper on the sparring floor, built to deflect, absorb, and intimidate.

Key Features:

• Battle-Grade Plastic Dome
  No fluff, no cosplay here — this is a HEMA-suitable hard shell capable of deflecting strong blows from steel weapons. It works.

• Historical Ming Aesthetic (明盔)
  Emulates the proud silhouette of Ming military headgear: tall crest, flared dome, and wide brim for maximum drama and deflection.

• Helmet Flag Mount
  Yes, you can install a dragon banner. Or a red tassel. Or your tournament team logo. This helmet wants attention.

• Fits Wukusi 1000N Mask (included)
  Precision-adjusted to match the trusted fencing masks. Make sure to size up if in doubt.

• Available Sizes:

  • M – For tight fit

  • L – Most common option

  • XL – For big heads and thick padding

⚠️ Important Note

This isn’t a decorative prop. It’s not officially certified either. But according to our in-house tests and frequent field abuse, it’s overwhelmingly protective.
Use it for long sword, halberd, spear, saber — even for that “special guy” who always Oberhau with full power.
We trust it. So should you. But as always: HEMA responsibly.
