Product description

Garlic Head Bascinet is a common late-14th-century helmet type, produced with reference to historical sources and surviving analogues. The characteristic longitudinal dome shape helps shed impacts along the curvature and spreads load across the crown and rear sections without concentrating it in one spot.

The set is built for buhurt / full contact use:

  • chainmail aventail included — protects neck and lower head, intended to work together with a gorget/shoulder system;
  • padded liner with hidden additional plates — improves damping and helps manage hard strikes;
  • straps and fastening elements — for seat stability and to limit rotation during clinch and repeated blows.

Fit is based on practical proportions: dome shape and internal space allow correct clearance plus padding layers, reducing pressure on temples and keeping the helmet from riding high. Proper strap setup and liner sizing matter for vision, stability, and neck fatigue during rounds.

Tournament compliance note: the design and kit can be used across historical armored combat formats (including HMB/IMCF and local rules) when the chosen configuration matches the event requirements. Final acceptance is always decided by marshals/tech control.

Maintenance: inspect rings/rivets of the aventail, strap condition, and liner lacing regularly. Typical wear items are serviceable (strap replacement, edge dressing, local aventail repair) without changing the shell geometry.
