Wearing the Medieval Hounskull Pigface Bascinet during a recent LARP event was a fantastic experience. The craftsmanship was immediately evident, with its sturdy 16 gauge steel construction. At first, I was surprised by its weight, but it felt balanced once I put it on. The interior padding was comfortable, allowing me to wear it for hours without discomfort, which is a huge plus for extended events.
During the battle scenes, the helmet held up remarkably well. I was concerned about how it would react to a few light strikes, but it showed no signs of denting or damage. The ventilation, strategically placed on one side, provided enough airflow to keep me cool even while running around.
One minor flaw is that the visor’s pivot mechanism could use a bit more sturdiness, as it felt slightly loose after several up-and-down movements. However, it was still functional and did not detract from my overall enjoyment. The striking brass fittings added a touch of elegance, making it an eye-catching piece both in combat and display. This bascinet exceeded my expectations, and I’m eagerly looking forward to using it again!
