Spoleto Bascinet Helmet for Armored Combat

Spoleto Bascinet Helmet for Armored Combat Spoleto bascinet helmet for armored combat is a transitional-style helmet based on 14th-century visual sources. Fighters also know similar helmets as “Gryphon” helmets in the sport. This helmet fits 14th-century and transitional armor kits. However, it is not suitable for 15th-century armor kits, according to common authenticity requirements for this helmet style. TL;DR Transitional-style bascinet for armored combat Based on 14th-century period art Approved for 14th-century and transitional armor kits Not suitable for 15th-century armor kits Hardened 30HGSA steel Dome thickness: 3 mm (0.12 in) top, 2 mm (0.08 in) lower section Visor thickness: 2 mm (0.08 in) Steel riveted chainmail aventail Additional steel plates under the chainmail Weight: 7.36 kg (16.23 lb) 2 strap sets plus Simon strap Visor secured with button and strap Two-layer helmet liner: foam and EVA The Spoleto bascinet uses a side-pivoting visor with a longer flat face and no chin plate. This style appears in mid-to-late 14th-century sources, before later 15th-century helmet shapes became dominant. We make the helmet from hardened 30HGSA steel. The dome uses 3 mm (0.12 in) steel on top and 2 mm (0.08 in) steel on the lower section. As a result, the helmet gives stronger protection where overhead hits usually land hardest. The visor uses 2 mm (0.08 in) steel. It protects the face while keeping the historical profile clean and recognizable. Also, the button and strap system keeps the visor secured during grappling, falls, and repeated contact. The helmet comes with steel riveted chainmail and additional steel plates under the chainmail. This gives extra coverage around the neck and lower head area, which matters when strikes come from the side or behind in mass battles. Inside, the helmet uses a two-layer liner made from foam and EVA. The liner helps manage impact and improves fit. Plus, 2 strap sets and a Simon strap keep the helmet stable when you run, wrestle, or get pushed against the list.
