Klappvisor bascinet for buhurt and training
Klappvisor bascinet made with reference to historical sources and a museum analogue (a common mid-14th century type). Built for full contact armored combat: face coverage against direct hits, workable head mobility, and serviceable hardware. The set includes a mail aventail, a padded liner with hidden reinforcing plates, and straps. The fit geometry focuses on stable positioning and controlled play without unrealistic “custom-for-everyone” claims.

Product description
Klappvisor bascinet made with reference to historical sources and museum analogues (a mid-14th century type; prototype from the Deutsches Historisches Museum collection, Berlin). This format is chosen for a practical balance: covered face area, usable visibility in clinch distance, and straightforward maintenance.
Protection and durability
- The klappvisor covers the face and reduces the risk of direct impacts to the nose/cheek/teeth zone.
- Mail aventail protects the lower edge and neck area, helping to integrate the helmet with torso defenses.
- Included padded liner with hidden reinforcing plates adds working resource on frequent impact points and helps resist denting under tight contact.
Mobility and fit
- Dome and face geometry aim for stable seating and controlled shifting during clinch work.
- Straps allow secure fixation and adjustment with your under-helmet padding and aventail setup.
Service and repair
- Serviceable visor hardware: routine checks of fasteners and strap wear simplify season prep.
- Replaceable consumables (straps, aventail lacing/attachment, padding elements) keep repairs practical without complex shell work.
About tournament checks
The geometry and set are aligned with common safety checks for face coverage, fixation and edge safety. Final approval depends on the specific event rules and the on-site technical commission.
