Description
This bascinet has a quite wide-spread type of visor – Klappvisier. The turning system allows to detach the visor. Surely, it made sense in the medieval, but it is too risky in sports. The blows on the helmet might make the details which hold the visor a bit loose and the visor might fall off. Which is why this type of bascinet is better used in reenactment.
The default complection of the bascinet has vervelles for the leather and aventail.
