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.

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.

No additional purchases are needed. All helmets are supplied fully equipped and ready for training or competition use. This includes:

• Internal liner system
• All necessary leather straps (including Simon strap)
• Neck protection in the form of a mounted aventail with integrated steel or titanium plates

Each helmet arrives ready for immediate use upon delivery — no extra assembly or upgrades required.

We understand the importance of a well-fitting padded set for both comfort and protection in buhurt. Here is the guide on how to take your measurements for your gambezone and padded chausses (or pants).

Here’s a guide for the measurements for the under-armor padded set:

Body:

• B (Height): Stand tall and measure your height in centimeters (cm) without shoes.
• F (Chest Circumference): Wrap the tape around your chest at its fullest point, keeping it parallel to the ground. Breathe normally, don’t inflate your chest!
• G (Waist Circumference): Find your natural waist and measure its circumference. Avoid tightening excessively.
• H (Hips Circumference): Measure around your hips at their widest point, level with your buttocks.
• Weight: Weigh yourself in kilograms (kg) for accurate size charts.

Arms:

• S (Sleeve Length): With your arm relaxed, measure from your shoulder joint to your wrist bone, slightly bending your elbow.

Legs:

• Y (Leg Length): Stand straight and measure from your belt line down to the floor.
• AB (Groin to Floor): For extra protection, measure from your groin area down to the floor while squatting slightly.
• I (Thigh Circumference): Find the widest part of your thigh and measure its circumference.
• J (Thigh Above Knee): Measure around your thigh just above the knee.
• K (Calf Circumference): Wrap the tape around the widest part of your calf.
• L (Ankle Circumference): Measure your ankle circumference, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.

Preferred Length:

• Gambezone Length: Decide your desired length and measure from the base of your neck down your front to that point.

Additional Tips:

• If unsure about any measurement, err on the slightly bigger side for adjustments later.
• Use a flexible measuring tape and stand on a level surface.
• Double-check your measurements for accuracy.

Remember: Proper measurements for the under-armor padded set ensure a perfect fit, maximizing your comfort and protection in the heat of battle. Conquer the measuring tape and dominate the battlefield!

Avoid machine washing. It twists the layers and ruins the stitching.

The safest method: fill a bath with warm water, add mild detergent, and let your padding soak.

Rinse gently — no wringing or twisting.

Dry flat on a towel or rack. This keeps the shape and padding thickness intact.

Make sure it’s completely dry before storing or wearing again.

Leather likes respect – not drama.

• Keep it dry. If it gets wet, let it air-dry naturally (no heaters, no sun baking).
• Condition lightly with leather balm or oil every few months to prevent cracking.
• Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals — they weaken the fibers.
• If dirt builds up, wipe with a damp cloth, nothing aggressive.
• Store your gear in a cool, ventilated place, not in a sealed bag.

Healthy leather lasts longer, bends better, and stays battle-ready.
