Flat-Faced Bascinet with Blackened Cross

Flat-Faced Bascinet with Blackened Cross is an armored combat helmet for fighters who want strong protection without a huge, bulky head profile. It keeps the shape compact, so you can move, turn, clinch, and recover faster during buhurt, duels, and hard training.

• Compact armored combat helmet for buhurt and duels
• Good choice if you want a lighter, less bulky helmet shape
• Material: 30HGSA hardened steel
• Dome thickness: 2.5 mm (0.10 in) top, 2 mm (0.08 in) bottom
• Blackened steel cross thickness: 2 mm (0.08 in)

This helmet focuses on mobility and control. The compact flat-faced shape helps reduce the oversized “bucket head” feeling that some combat helmets have. As a result, your neck works less when you look around, absorb pressure, or get pushed against the list.

We make the dome from 30HGSA hardened steel. The top uses 2.5 mm (0.10 in) steel, while the lower section uses 2 mm (0.08 in) steel. Therefore, the helmet gives stronger protection where overhead strikes usually land hardest.

The blackened steel cross adds a clean visual accent and an extra 2 mm (0.08 in) steel layer on the front. Also, it gives the helmet a sharper look without making it feel overloaded or decorative.

The visor secures with a button and strap. Extra visor holes allow optional fixation if you want a tighter setup. This matters in grappling, falls, and wall pressure, where loose parts become annoying fast.

The cotton aventail includes 3 hardened steel plates. Plus, the helmet comes with extra black painted chin protection under the visor and aventail. Together, these parts help cover the lower head, chin, and neck area during close-range exchanges.

Inside, the padded liner, Simon strap, and 2 sets of chin straps help keep the helmet stable. So, it stays better positioned when you run, wrestle, kneel, or take repeated hits.

Helmets FAQ

a

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.

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
