Gladiator Roman Maximus Style Helmet Armor with Spikes - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 11 customer reviewsDon't bother with this helmet.
Do not waste your money on this lump of crooked metal. The positive reviews fooled me. I would return this if I didn't have to pay for shipping both ways (almost $30) and the 15% restocking fee which they will no doubt try to charge me even though this thing is defective.
Pros:
It is metal
Cons:
Face plate is riveted on crooked making the crest look like it was welded crooked, you can actually see where the assembler (aka small child working for $1 a day) had to drill a few holes to get it right which it still isn't. This can be fixed simple enough but for $70 with the cost of shipping I should not have to do anything to the helmet.
The face plate itself is also crooked. The nose is about 5 to 10 degrees off from the eyes. Maybe cool if you want to look like you got your head run over by a chariot-not the look I was going for.
It is large enough to fit my large head however it is way too wide. This would work well on a...
It works!
I used this in a Halloween costume and it worked great, its a little bit big but it will fit most adult size heads.
Be aware that it comes with no internal padding so you will need to wear a hat of some sort to keep the metal from bruising up your head. Also the smell of metal really gets to you if you wear the helmet for to long so I let it air out for a while before using it.
It comes wrapped in a bag that is coated with oil so be careful when unwrapping it! I got a bunch of oil over my clothes without even realizing it but the oil is easy to clean up.
Overall it is a solid helmet and it helped me win a costume contest so it was worth it! :)

Big. Heavy. Menacing! Exactly what I was looking for. Fits over my 7 1/2 sized head, even after I applied padding.
