The bascinet – also bassinet, basinet, or bazineto, was a Medieval European open-faced combat helmet.
It evolved from a type of iron or steel skullcap, but had a more pointed apex to the skull, and it extended downwards at the rear and sides to afford protection for the neck.
A mail curtain (aventail or camail) was usually attached to the lower edge of the helmet to protect the throat, neck and shoulders.

First reference to a bascinet, was in the Italian city of Padua in 1281, being worn by infantry. The bascinet evolved from the cervelliere.

Our replica features a grid visor, which makes this amazing helmet unique.

Although the helmet resists very strong blows, the face is exposed, we do not recommend using this helmet for buhurt.
The helmet is instead perfect for display, historical re-enactments and LARP.
