Product description
Bevors like this were developed 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, with a burgonet. The sallet-bevor combination is the most common, and the two 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.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open – provides optimal visibility and is useful for giving commands in battle.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor open and bevor closed – offers slightly more protection while maintaining good visibility.
-
Sallet flat on the head with visor closed – provides maximum protection for the head and face.
This bevor consists of multiple parts. The chin piece can be flipped up for extra protection. It pairs well with sallets that have a half visor. At the back, the bevor has a leather strap to secure it around the neck.
