<p>A Sallet helmet is a sleek, late-medieval design that exemplifies both functionality and style. It features a rounded, smooth dome that curves gracefully down the back of the head, offering exceptional protection for the skull and neck. The front is often open or fitted with a narrow, elongated visor that provides the wearer with a clear line of sight while guarding the upper face. Some versions include a movable visor that can be lifted for better visibility during non-combat moments. The neck is shielded by a gracefully flared tail, or "lobster tail," which protects against downward strikes while maintaining mobility. Typically made of polished steel, the Sallet often bears simple riveted details, though more elaborate versions for nobles might be adorned with engraved patterns or decorative ridges, symbolizing the transition between functional battlefield gear and ornate knightly armor.</p>
