It is sold in armor vendors at Alhafra and Garoh in. An Open Helm could be considered for Felix once the party reaches Alhafra, but be advised that in the town Mikasalla, which can be entered even before Alhafra, the far stronger Bronze Helm is sold for 600 coins, so it is very likely a much better idea to shop there. It is also sold at Garoh.

Given that the player will not have access to stronger headwear until reaching Kaocho at the least, Open Helms are an excellent choice. Should the player buy Open Helms, they can pass over the Wooden Caps in Kaocho, which would only be incrementally stronger, for the Bronze Helms in Ayuthay.
