Medieval Klappvisor Bascinet Helmet with Padded Liner

Description

Are you ready to step onto the battlefield with confidence? Introducing the Medieval Klappvisor Bascinet Helmet, a stunning homage to the armor of the 14th century. This battle-ready helmet has been meticulously crafted for those who seek both functionality and historical authenticity. Inspired by the iconic designs favored in the Holy Roman Empire (modern-day Germany), this bascinet is not only a piece of history but a practical choice for reenactors, collectors, and martial artists alike.

Crafted from 16-gauge mild steel, this helmet provides robust protection without compromising comfort. The polished finish adds a touch of elegance, ensuring you look formidable on the field. With a height of approximately 27 cm and carefully designed dimensions, it features an inner depth of 23.5 cm at eye level and an inner width of 21 cm at ear level. Imagine yourself donning this exquisite piece that fits most head sizes, accommodating circumferences from about 58 cm to 61 cm, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit.

The design includes eye slits measuring 9.3 cm long and 1 cm wide, giving you ample visibility while ensuring maximum protection. The face opening behind the visor is about 17 cm long with a width of 17.5 cm, providing a perfect balance between defense and sight. Weighing in at a manageable 3.4 kg, you can wear this helmet for extended periods during training or in battle, so your focus can remain on the task at hand rather than discomfort.

To enhance comfort during wear, this helmet comes with a padded liner already affixed inside. This feature is particularly advantageous, as it typically suffices for most adult male heads. For those who prefer extra cushion, it is recommended to measure your head circumference while wearing any additional padded cap you might choose.

Furthermore, this helmet is designed with durability in mind. When packaged, it is coated with a protective layer of oil to guard against corrosion (rust). This layer can easily be removed with any oil remover or simply wiped away with a dry cloth, ensuring your helmet maintains its pristine appearance.

Pair the Medieval Klappvisor Bascinet Helmet with one of our finely crafted aventails, available separately, to complete your armored ensemble. The combination not only amplifies your protection but also elevates your style, turning you into a striking figure on the battlefield or during historical reenactments.
