Product description
Bevors like this appeared in the second half of the 15th century. They protected the vulnerable neck and were usually worn in combination with a sallet, kettle hat, or in the early 16th century, a burgonet. The sallet-bevor combination is the most common, and both can be combined in various ways.

Sallet half over the head – provides an optimal field of vision.

Sallet half over the head with bevor closed – provides an optimal field of vision with extra protection for the face.
