Description
Step into the world of medieval craftsmanship with the 14th Century Full Visor Bascinet Helmet. This exquisite helmet not only embodies the rich history of the medieval era but also serves as a functional piece for LARPing enthusiasts and reenactors. Whether you’re preparing for a theatrical performance or a historical battle reenactment, this bascinet is your perfect ally.
Crafted from sturdy 14 gauge mild steel, this helmet ensures the highest level of protection without compromising your mobility. The bascinet was a favored choice among heavily armored mounted knights due to its remarkable blend of strength and maneuverability. Its design allows for significant versatility, making it an essential addition to your medieval armor collection.
With a comfortable padded liner, this helmet is designed not only to protect but also to ensure you can wear it for extended periods without discomfort. The inner circumference of approximately 68 cm makes it suitable for head sizes between 58 cm and 61 cm, accommodating most adult males. If you plan to wear a padded cap underneath, consider measuring your head circumference while wearing it to ensure the perfect fit.
This helmet stands at a total height of 26.5 cm, featuring a visor measuring (26.5×33.5) cm. The base dimensions (when the visor is fully enclosed) are about (22×17.5) cm, providing ample coverage and defense against any opponents or rogue arrows. Each eye space—measuring approximately (0.9×0.8) cm—provides a clear line of vision while keeping you protected, allowing you to remain alert and aware during any critical moments.
One of the standout features of this helmet is its compatibility with our chainmail aventails, sold separately. By attaching an aventail using the provided vervelles, you can enhance your protection even further, making it a stellar choice for your next event. The chainmail aventail adds an extra layer of defense for your neck and shoulders without hindering your movement.
Upon arrival, you’ll notice the helmet is coated with a layer of oil. This protective layer is a safeguard against corrosion and rust during transit. It can easily be wiped away with any oil remover or a simple dry cloth, leaving your helmet ready for its grand unveiling.
