14th Century Visored Bascinet Helmet

The 14th Century Visored Bascinet Helmet is one of the most iconic pieces of medieval armor, representing the transition from earlier open-faced helmets to more protective designs.

  • Material: 1.5mm thick steel plate
  • Visor: A hinged visor could be raised or lowered depending on combat or visibility needs.
  • Chin strap: Genuine leather with brass buckle (for a secure fit)
  • Use: Reenactment, costumes, light fencing

Popular in the late 14th century, especially among knights and men-at-arms.

Replaced earlier great helms, which were heavier and less practical.
