Knights, men-at-arms and professional infantry used it all over Europe. The long, pointed visor, which looked like a dog's snout, was meant to protect the wearer from blows, arrows and spear thrusts on the battlefield while also making it easier to breathe and see than earlier fully enclosed helmets. During the Hundred Years' War, this style became popular and stayed that way for armoured cavalry and elite soldiers.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eArmor Arena has made a very accurate copy of this historic helmet for LARP, SCA combat, medieval re-enactment, cosplay, film production and theatre. Each piece is made with care to make sure it lasts, is comfortable and looks like it did in the past, all while keeping the price low.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eYou can get this bascinet in 14, 16, 18 or 20-gauge mild steel, or you can pay more for 18-gauge stainless steel, which is better at resisting rust. We have two surface finishes: Dull Finish for a real battlefield look and Mirror Finish for a polished display look.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe foam padding inside the helmet makes it comfortable to wear for a long time and the leather chin strap with a steel buckle keeps it in place. The articulated hounskull visor lifts up easily, making it easy to talk and breathe during events.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\\n\n\\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eArmor Arena is known for making high-quality medieval helmets at the lowest price possible.
