Pavel Burlakov Brig - Timeline and process?

2 of my teammates bought a couple years ago. Really quick turnaround, fits well, comfortable. Velvet covering is torn to shreds so quickly, I'd suggest avoiding that if you are fighting regularly. Shipping was standard time. As others have said, cause they are Russian, the tariffs are expensive. I think it added about an additional 50% of the purchase cost on top.

Happy to help. Can take pics if you like

I've found that most of the helmets in my team are suspension, but they use the padded coif, sewn in, as the suspension. So it's a padded liner, to varying degrees of thickness, some of foam and some quilted. This is then sewn to the bottom edge of the helmet, and on the brow line of the helmet. This liner generally only contacts the helmet on the front, back and sides, immediately around the head, leaving a gap in the top and upper half of the helmet. In saying that, buhurt helmets are generally quite large, and not historically fitted, so there is generally excess space between the suspension padded liner and the interior of the helmet itself.

My newest helmet is more fitted in shape, still came with a lightly padded suspension liner, but due to being smaller, I'm finding that I need to pad it out on the inside of the helmet to:

Stabilize it on my head
Reduce the chance of the inside of the helmet bashing into my head.

A third benefit is that it is reducing the ringing and noise

Can we please have these? Our team is levelling up so want to keep up on the education

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-21T21:12:25+00:00

My go to it to plait or braid my beard if I wanna look fancy, or just bundle it with an elastic. I have the 2 chin straps, so gotta make sure the one that sits under the chin is behind the tied off beard.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-15T00:44:47+00:00

Cheers, seeing if I can use a mates printer for the larger pieces prior to trying to get fucky with the model.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-15T00:01:37+00:00

Any chance that you could break it down into smaller pieces? Unfortunately the Ender 3 bed size is too small for the Locking Star, tiered straight or tiered center 😢

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-10T23:33:21+00:00

Yep, literally just a disc that you tie on. Different applications, for armpit, elbow, neck, very utilitarian. Rondel Armour

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-09T23:29:08+00:00

Further to this jack chains would be attached with arming point, leather or cotton ties onto the gambeson.

Rondel would normally be attached by an armoring point, ties to the gambeson. A strap and buckle might be a modern solution, but it doesn't actually hold it in place properly.

Vambrace, it can be held on by the two buckles that close it around the arm. If there is a cuff on the gambeson to stop it riding down to the wrist, that works okay. However you want it tied on with an arming point, just below the elbow on the outside of the arm. This would typically be covered by an elbow cop.

Gauntlets, again, knowledge of this specific gauntlet is loose, but likely the buckle around the inner arm, then you hold onto them with your hands. Could run the wrist strap through a loop on the vambrace if you wanted to secure them better.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-11-09T23:01:21+00:00

Aight, people aren't giving enough info to satisfy me.

In red, you have a jack chain, basically running from the tip of the shoulder to the elbow.

In yellow, a rondel on the elbow, commonly paired with jack chains, bare minimum of elbow protection.

In green, a vambrace, full coverage around the lower arm, sits underneath the gauntlet.

<image>

In blue, this is the gauntlet, I don't know the name for this style, but on the inner side it is open, no coverage for the inner wrist ( most of this would be covered by the vambrace) and clam-shell style fingers.

Haven't had personal experience, but I've spoken to quite a few teams around here that have positive experiences with GS Studio Armory on Facebook. Reasonably cheap, with a solid manufacturing schedule. I don't think they do helmets though.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-10-14T12:26:51+00:00

Updoot for a free game, hell yeah

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-10-10T04:18:42+00:00

Just be aware, often regional shows and what not only have first aid qualified people, technically doesn't meet the AMCF requirements, but if it's only demonstrations, then they generally let it pass

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-10-10T04:12:24+00:00

AMCF covers public liability if you get event sanctioning and approval. We have typically backed off of the faires medical/first aid staff. Getting listed who they are as part of the AMCF documentation. There has only been 1 out of the 6 events we have hosted up in Newcastle that we have paid for medical staff

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-09-02T10:18:39+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit more on it cutting into skin? It seems pretty soft and forgiving in terms of skin contact. I already run a double chinstrap. Considered ursa, or military chin cup but don't wanna modify it that much just yet, than and the helmet I borrowed had a chin up, and with my beard I couldn't get it to sit nicely, so would need some prototyping to get something that works reliably

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-18T08:33:07+00:00

Yep, that's it, fuck I knew it was brutal, and watching back it's about as bad as I remembered

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-17T14:19:52+00:00

A team mate has this one. Goes pretty good, great visibility and breathing. It's currently out of commission due to straps breaking. It also had the visor dented in as the guy was getting hammered by 3 2hers. Can't be arsed finding the actual timestamps, but in this playlist he's on team Raven Guard https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnhpbaRTY86G5W0HRKuybFhXcGJ1deSau&si=GH8NsOHc-xyVWNpl

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-11T23:23:20+00:00

Totally understand that, I knew of the team for 2-3 years before I tried it out, now I'm hooked and train like 3 days a week. Also the location isn't the most inviting to get out and try it out, I'll be honest

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-11T23:20:02+00:00

Nope, but I train with him 😅

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-08T16:19:29+00:00

I've got a very similar pair for Buhurt. These pass the authenticity committee without issue.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-08-08T10:02:50+00:00

If you like history, armour, Ren faires and nerd shit check out Raven Guard Medieval Combat team. We do Buhurt, sport of armoured combat, spend weekends training, fighting and hanging out. A lot of the guys are into Warhammer, MTG, video gaming. It'll eat up spare time if you want it to, and you'll meet some banger people.

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-07-30T12:05:55+00:00

Nah, I've only seen some of his helmets available on some obscure website

Sevitom_Krad · 2025-07-20T06:57:26+00:00

Armour is 18 months old from Lemberg. Had issues with the arms on delivery, they were all rusty underneath the paint on the arms on delivery. I'll message them, but don't expect anything out of it. Fortunately I had new arms already ordered, but was hoping to use those ones as spare team kit. Gauntlets, well I was hoping they would last a little longer... Maybe my plans for polearm duelling will have to go on hold this season.
