Description

The Flat-faced Bascinet is our answer to the armored combat fighter who demands speed, control, and uncompromising protection. Inspired by its battlefield-proven predecessor, this dueling-focused variation is lighter, tighter, and faster—crafted for mobility without sacrificing safety.

 

Specifications:

  • Material: 30HGSA hardened steel
  • Dome thickness: 2.5 mm (top), 2 mm (bottom)
  • Helmet weight: 5.69 kg (12.5 lbs)
  • Aventail: Cotton with 3 hardened steel plates
  • Visor: Secured with button and strap
  • Extra visor holes: For optional fixation
  • Includes padded liner
  • Includes Simon strap and 2 sets of chin straps
  • Includes extra black painted chin protection under the visor and aventail

The dome is forged from 30HGSA hardened steel, with a reinforced 2.5 mm crown and 2 mm lower walls—thick where it matters most. The integrated padded liner ensures comfort in the clash, while the fabric aventail, backed by three hardened steel plates, guards your neck from the unexpected.

The visor locks securely with both a button and a strap system, and includes optional mounting holes for added stability during high-intensity bouts. Every helmet ships duel-ready at just 5.69 kg (12.5 lbs)—balanced to perfection.

Whether you fight with precision or raw power, the Flat-faced Bascinet is built to move with you—and endure what comes at you.

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.

  1. Feather –

    Ive had this helmet for a couple of weeks now and can say this is the most breathable visor that Ive tried on. The helmet is light but rests very securely on your shoulders. It can take axe strikes well, and there’s a ton of straps to secure yourself in for added protection. The pin is also probably the easiest pin to open a visor Ive ever used. Don’t take that as a sign that the visor will come open during a fight, the straps and the pin lock are pretty secure.

    Overall a great helmet for dueling and profights. Breathing in this is insanely easily.

    This is my first impression review, I haven’t battle tested it just yet. Out of the box the helmet fits me perfectly, the padding is very cushiony and soft, eyeslits are nice and level with mine, belts are in good length. I love that it has a good distance between my face and the visor also. Breathability and visibility is the same as with every closed helmet, I’m used to it so for me it’s perfectly fine but in the end of the day it’s a perforated visor, not a wolfrib. The only things I’d change are the holes on the belts and steel plates. The holes are very teeny tiny so I need to punch new ones in order to close the straps. Also with the current plate positions there is a potential gap between the neck and shoulder (this I need to double check in armour). I personally prefer to attach my plates to aventail so there are no gaps at all.
    (My helmet has the custom plate on the front which I appreciate a lot)

    This has to be one of the best pieces of armor I have bought. The fact that it came 100% ready was amazing.

    This helmet is SICK
    I bought it while it was in stock, and I got it to Australia in under 3 weeks.
    Fantastic helmet tbh, can’t wait to cop a couple shield punches in it.

    Quality is very good and tested in an armoured training session. Visibility and protection is very decent. Delivery was very fast. Would recommend for people needing a good quality helmet fast for upcoming tournaments/ training.

  8. Joseph P. (verified owner) –

    Love the helmet, sturdy but not too heavy. I haven’t used it yet but I definitely feel well protected when wearing it. I had been looking for a helmet with a simple design like this one, I looked at all the other major Buhurt sites and just so happened to see this pop up on Medieval Extreme. It was the right price with availability. It even shipped within two weeks of ordering it.
