The Sugarloaf helmet is a full face helmet that is a cross helmet between the heaulm and the bascinet where the skull of the helmet was pointed like a bascinet and the sides enclosed like a heaulm. The tall, pointed top offered a much better glancing surface than the older flat-tops, allowing blows from a sword, mace or axe to be harmlessly deflected. They were worn until the third quarter of the century, when the visored bascinet emerged as dominant. Sugarloafs were often adorned with a cross of brass, bronze or latten across the front and decorated with torses and mantles, especially since they were frequently worn in tournaments and in jousts.
