Wolf Ribs Helmet for Buhurt — Bascinet

Wolf Ribs helmet is a 14th-century European bascinet aimed at buhurt and other full contact formats. The build is based on iconographic sources and period analogs: no surviving originals of this exact type are known, so makers rely on historical depictions and comparable helmets of the era.

The core feature is the lattice visor. It keeps the face covered while maintaining a practical field of view and helping you breathe steadily during long exchanges. That matters for beginners learning distance control and for experienced fighters working in clinch and under shield pressure.

• Protection: face coverage without an extended snout reduces snagging in grappling and tight scrums.
• Mobility: bascinet geometry supports head turns and torso work; fit depends on chosen size and your liner/padding setup.
• Durability: optional vertical bars can be added for extra visor rigidity and as a safeguard against narrow thrust-like impacts.
• Serviceability: a grid visor is straightforward to inspect for bends and to correct/replace elements compared to complex shaped visors.

The visor can be fixed or lifting on request. Versions differ by thickness and heat treatment; exact parameters follow the selected configuration.

Note on event checks: compliance depends on the specific ruleset (for example IMCF, HMB, SCA and similar formats), the helmet’s condition, and proper assembly. Verify visor gap requirements and overall face protection before you travel—final approval is always with the marshals.
