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.
Specifications of the Basic Plate Aventail

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.

Sword has been holding up nicely! Very sturdy! Bought it a few months ago when it was in stock! Took awhile to come in the mail because of the war.

Nice field of vision and breathability, one of the safest designed helmet.
Be safe in the list!
Excellent craft! the materials used aren’t random. the shield is stiched and layered for sturdiness. The sword is wrapped tightly and with care and the helmet has felt on the parts that will be touching skin which makes for longer training all in all a wonderful deal! love and peace!
Weighty, but the handle helps it maneuver better when whipping the blade around in a follow-up. It also gives you a range advantage in most profights. Only complaint is something in the blade is really resonant and so it can vibrate a lot on impact. Otherwise a great saber for profights.
I enjoy it a lot
Really nice item The only thing I would suggest would be to make denser foam for the top of the cone area at the top of the head something a little more rigid would be nice. All in all very nice quality as usual very happy with my purchase.
Really well made and at a great price point thank you Medieval Extreme once again!
