Bascinet Helmet – Polished

Embrace medieval craftsmanship with the Polished Bascinet Helmet. Designed for the discerning knight and passionate historical reenactor, this helmet blends historical style with modern durability.

Handcrafted from 13-14-gauge mild steel, the Bascinet Helmet offers robust protection while maintaining a polished and sleek appearance. This medieval helmet is built to withstand the rigors of battle reenactments and adds an authentic touch to any knightly ensemble.

Functional Design

One of the standout features of the Bascinet Helmet is its moving, removable visor. Attached with sturdy pins and secured by a reliable leather strap, you can easily position the visor to suit your needs. Or you can detach it for a different way of wearing this knight’s helmet.

Next, a central ridge down the front of the helmet not only enhances its structural integrity and adds to its defense but also gives it a distinctive and formidable look.

Thoughtfully designed, the visor’s rectangular eye slots offer a clear field of vision. This is crucial for both combat and pageantry. To ensure comfort during extended wear, the helmet also features ventilation holes. The ventilation holes form a cross pattern on the left cheek. The right cheek shows a grid of the round ventilation cut-outs. These promote airflow and help reduce internal heat build-up.

Just under the eye slot, the area that covers the nose comes to an exaggerated point. This also helps in defending the front of the face. It also creates a distinctive knightly silhouette.
