Some historical references for the klappvisor bascinet from Sitten for armored combat:
High quality comes with some padding in the shoulder area great beginner brig
Very light but still very protective. I’ve done melee’s in this and its protected me very well.
Best helmet I’ve ever used! came very well padded with a good chin strap and visor strap. The helmet button was too tight at first but after using it for a few months its easier to push down now and still keeps my visor in place.
Fits amazing, and protects well from gap shots!
The Gauntlets were amazing. The fit perfectly from the size I gave and hopefully I’ll be seeing myself compete with these bad boys
