An aventail is a flexible curtain of mail attached to  steel helmet that extends to cover the throat, neck and shoulders. Part or all of the face, with spaces to allow vision, could also be covered. The earliest types were riveted directly to the edge of the helmet, however, beginning in the 1320s in Western Europe a detachable version replaced this type. The detachable aventail was attached to a leather band, which was in turn attached to the lower border of the helmet by a series of staples. Aventails were most commonly seen on bascinets in the 14th century and served as a replacement for a complete mail hood or coif. By the late 15th century, the aventail had replaced the mail coif completely.
