Product description
This bascinet is based on an original from around 1370. The klappvisor bascinet was the first type of bascinet with a visor. After replacing the obstructively large helmet and half helmet, the knighthood realized that face protection on a helmet was very useful. That's why the folding visor bascinet. The name says it all. The visor opens and closes. It often has to be held open otherwise it will close automatically. That's why it can also be detached from the helmet! This helmet has an inner diameter of 72 cm (excluding leather lining) and fits most head circumferences from approximately 58 cm to 61 cm. This helmet is equipped with an inlay and chin strap. If you want to wear extra padding, measure your head circumference while wearing it. The padded liner that is already on the inside of the helmet. The hem insert can be removed to create more space in the helmet.
