The North’s rugged protection

For Viking?Age people, the hood was the ultimate protection against the elements. Our Viking hoods (also known as Skjoldehamn hoods) differ from later medieval styles through their more angular cut and the absence of the long liripipe.

This model is based on archaeological finds from Norway (c. year 1000). With its roomy fit and the distinctive square gusset at the chest, it warms the shoulders well and gives you an instantly authentic profile for the Viking Age and early Middle Ages.
