OVERVIEW

Circa 14th Century

Inspired by a 14th Century helmet, this updated 18 gauge steel bascinet has a rounded skull and a detachable front visor for protection of the face. Pins and chains at the side of the visor secure it in place. The visor can be removed completely and the helmet can be worn as a Barbut. The visor features a wide, rectangular slit for vision and has round cut-outs on the lower half of the face for ventilation. A short ridge accents the round skull. Inside, the helmet is an adjustable, padded cotton canvas liner and leather straps secure it in place when tied under the chin. Worn over an arming cap, this steel knight's helmet makes an impressive addition to any armor set for reenactment, the Renaissance faire, LARP, or other costuming activities. From Noble Armoury.

An overall great helm, but...
An overall great helmet; but the one I have is missing the leather strap used to hold the helmet in place. Because of this lack of a secure chin strap, it's rather loose and has the potential risk of falling off in a mock battle or when LARPing. However, I do like how historically accurate the helmet looks and the level of head protection it still gives. The limited field of peripheral vision is to be expected when the visor is attached and fully closes off the helmet to protect the face yet still offers a decently wide field of view.
