An Asterix helmet is a gold-coloured Gallic warrior helmet with two protruding wings on the sides, the trademark of the little Gaul from the comic books. With a helmet like this, you can achieve the complete Gallic look in one go, whether you are going as the clever warrior or as an unnamed villager from the same village. The helmets are part of the Asterix costume, which also includes the tunic and trousers. You will find models for men and women here, and a children's Asterix helmet is available alongside the adult size, so the youngest can join the parade with the same wings.
Into the parade with wings: which helmet is right for which event?
- For a carnival parade, choose an adult Asterix helmet with a sturdy plastic shell that will last all day outdoors.
- For a theme party or movie night at home, a helmet with striking wings works best, as you won't need much else with it.
- For a children's party or birthday, the children's version is ready to go, featuring the same design in a smaller size.
- For a group parade, get several helmets in the same version so that the whole Gallic troop looks uniform.
Children's model or adult size: which should you choose?
First, choose based on head circumference, as the versions differ mainly in size rather than appearance. The adult helmets are made for a full-grown head and are described as sturdier and more comfortable, while the children's model has the same wings in a smaller size. One of the models, the Gallic warrior version, is made of polypropylene and polyethylene and therefore feels stiffer than a soft shell. In the comics, Asterix wears his winged helmet when he leaves the village, and it is precisely those wings that set it apart from an ordinary Roman or Viking helmet. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one: a slightly loose helmet can still be secured with an adjustable strap.
What else do you need besides the helmet for a complete Gallic outfit?
A helmet only looks its best when paired with a tunic and trousers in the same style, which you can find with the matching costume. If you are teaming up with the big friend from the village, the Obelix costume is the natural choice, and its own Obelix helmet completes the outfit. If you would prefer to compare a different headpiece, you can find the other models among the helmets.
An Asterix helmet for carnival or a theme party
A winged helmet is the quickest way to show up as a Gaul, and it works just as well for carnival as for a comic book theme party or movie night. Men and women can wear it over their own costume, while children can join the parade with the same helmet. If you go as a group, the row of wings will really stand out.
