Morions are great-looking, and have their pros & cons. Practically speaking for SCA armored combat, be real careful about catching lateral shots on the high fin, like the conventional on-side or off-side head shot - if it lands high it could torque your neck. On the other paw, I have observed th...

If you are truly a fighter of note, seeking worthy renown; it seems to me that it would behoove you to have a heraldic tabard made up in your arms. Tabards are one-size-fits-most, and then you have the added coolness of having your herald in your arms.
