#REDIRECT [[Aventail]]
The '''ventail''' is a [[mail]] protection for the lower face. It could be attached to a [[mail]] defensive garment or to a [[helmet]] or [[coif]].

They were introduced in the [[12th century]], but became less common with the well off as [[helmet]] types changed.

They remained in use by [[soldier]]s after being abandoned by [[noble|nobility]].
