Description

Riveted Chainmail Aventail for Helmet | Type 3

Riveted Chainmail Aventail for Helmet | Type 3 is made for clapvisor-style helmets used in armored combat. It works as a replacement aventail when your old chainmail becomes worn, damaged, stretched, or unreliable after years of fighting.

TL;DR

• Riveted chainmail aventail for clapvisor helmets
• Designed for helmets with front triangular aventail sections
• Made from flat rings
• Half solid rings and half riveted rings
• Standard size fits our helmets for 55–62 cm (21.7–24.4 in) head circumference
• Custom sizing available by measurements
• Good for helmet repair, replacement, and combat-ready maintenance

This aventail protects the neck and lower head area while matching the shape of clapvisor-style helmets. The front triangular sections help the chainmail sit correctly around the visor and face opening.

We make it from flat rings with a half-solid and half-riveted construction. As a result, the aventail stays flexible around the neck while keeping enough strength for regular buhurt and armored combat use.

The listed price applies to a standard-sized aventail made for our helmets. This standard version fits helmets made for 55–62 cm (21.7–24.4 in) head circumference.

For heavily customized helmets or unusual attachment layouts, the final price may change. Therefore, please add your measurements in the order comment, so we can check the fit before production.

Measurements We Need

• 1 — Full bottom circumference of your helmet
• 2 — Chainmail height from the attachment point to the lower edge of your padded aventail
• 3 — Maximum distance between the front triangular sections
• 4 — Height of the front triangular section

These measurements help us adjust the aventail to your helmet shape. So, it covers the neck correctly, follows the clapvisor layout, and does not hang too short or too long during movement.

How do I measure my head?

To ensure the helmet for armored combat fits correctly, take your measurements without any padding, using a tailor’s measuring tape.

Refer to the diagram:

• A – Maximum head circumference measured horizontally around the widest part of the head (typically from the forehead across the back of the skull).
• B – Vertical distance from the center of the eye level straight down to the top of the shoulder. This helps us determine the appropriate helmet length to ensure full coverage without restriction.

For the best fit, please double-check your measurements and include them in centimeters.

If there are any specific considerations — such as plans to wear additional padding, a request for reinforced vision protection (e.g., extra eye bars), or anything else that might influence the build — please mention this in the order comments during checkout. We take these details into account during production to ensure your helmet arrives ready and optimized for use.

Do I need to buy anything extra with the helmet?

No additional purchases are needed. All helmets are supplied fully equipped and ready for training or competition use. This includes:

• Internal liner system
• All necessary leather straps (including Simon strap)
• Neck protection in the form of a mounted aventail with integrated steel or titanium plates

Each helmet arrives ready for immediate use upon delivery — no extra assembly or upgrades required.

What’s the best helmet to start with?

Classic bascinets are one of the most versatile and widely accepted choices in armored combat. Whether it’s a clapvisor, spoletto, nasal bascinet, or bascinet with a cross, these models offer solid protection — especially around the eyes — and are compatible with most common armor kits used in tournaments.

Their design balances protection, breathability, and visibility, making them a reliable choice for both new and experienced fighters.
