Description
On the selection of the miniatures you can see the helmet with a visor. When we developed Bascinet “Griffon” based on this images we didn’t try to make the same helmet. The most important here is the fact that these images confirm the possibility of such helmet existing with similar way of assembling, the silhouette and geometry of the visor. When creating the medieval stylization we made an accent on good vision, ability to withstand blows and fighting techniques of the modern buhurt. The model turned our to be so successful, that a lot o another workshops try to copy this bascinet.
Main features and differences:
The top of the skull and visor is 3 mm. The eyelets are welded from the inside, a set of bars is added in front of eyes. This construction prevents the eyelyet from bending, node guard from breaking and the weapon from hitting your face.
During the fight you should be able to rotate your head which is why we didn’t use Great Bascinets when we developed optimal helmet. Although Great Bascinet will give you additional protection of the neck, it will restrain your movement and you won’t be able to fight efficiently enough. And if you wear pelerine with plates under the bascinet, the neck will be protected and you can rotate your head at the same time.
