Description
Basic Plate Aventail
Standalone neck protection for armored combat. The Basic Plate Aventail is a padded collar with fan-shaped hardened steel plates riveted around the neck and shoulder line. It is not a helmet-mounted chainmail aventail. Instead, it works as separate neck, throat, and upper-shoulder protection for buhurt, duels, and full-contact medieval combat.

Coverage and Protection
The wide plate layout covers the collarbone zone, sides of the neck, back of the neck, and upper shoulders. As a result, this plate collar helps protect areas that often take hits during clinches, falls, and close-range exchanges. In addition, the overlapping plates spread the force of strikes instead of letting one point take the full impact.
Comfort and Fit
The steel plates are riveted to a black padded fabric base, which improves comfort and adds shock absorption under the metal layer. Moreover, the two front buckle straps let you adjust the fit quickly and keep the neck guard closed during movement. This makes the aventail practical for running, grappling, kneeling, and getting back up after falls.
Armor Compatibility
This plate aventail is designed to be worn over padded armor, gambesons, or brigandine collar areas as extra neck protection. Therefore, it works well as a simple upgrade when you need more coverage around the neck and upper shoulders without adding a full helmet-mounted aventail.

Purchased one last year and finally took the time to put it together. Easier than an Ikea wardrobe cupboard, so easy enough for an IT nerd like me to put together on my own.
Good fit and an excellent rack. Some parts might need some extra “encouragement” to fit correctly, i.e. a few taps with a hammer.
For now holds my recently arrived Eastern Padded set.
Wonderful padded set!
Unexpectedly, I lost quite a bit of weight since I ordered the gambeson set, but even though a bit wider in fits, it still follows the shape of my body superbly. Klas klas!
Very good work; however, I’m deducting points because the screws weren’t painted over.
This is a beautiful, sturdy and amazing product. My son will be really happy when he finds this under the Christmas tree! Would absolutely recommend!
