A little OT.
At one La Prova Dura (2005?) there was a large vid made of it & there is a moment about 3:02 in when Duke Radnor thrusts a guy in the helm and it's just... perfect.
I cannot seem to find the vid anymore. Does anyone know where to find it?

Re: Riot Armour for SCA combat?
A local cop once borrowed a local knights helm, shield, and rattan sword for a riot.
His LT saw what was in the trunk, looked the Patrol Sgt in they eye and said " I didn't see it & I don't want to know".

He does it as he really likes the fit of the glove but got his hand broken using it when he missed a parry. That's why he uses the shield. It allows him to keep using the gl...

Where does 'cool' factor play in this?
