The Armour Archive

Hi there,

I'm looking for a helmet for a myself, I have a 21 1/4" circumference noggin.

I will be doing the jousting and mounted crest combat next spring with the SCA, as in Avacal we're still starting it up. So i need something with good visibility and good fit. I've tried the use a bigger helm with more padding and it's not great when you're on a horse.
I don't want to spend more than $300 on a helm i'm going to use 4-8 times a year.

Anyone have anything that small, or a suggestion of what I could use?
I will post a picture of the armor i already have built when i get home tonight.

Thanks

Tessa

the promised picture.
i'm wearing a plastic costume helmet in the picture but the rest of the gear is boiled dyed leather.
i'm waiting till i have a helmet before i build a gorget and modify the breastplate. again any suggestions welcome, i'm kinda building this blind as its my first set.

thanks

Neat.
Thanks for the pic.

Best of luck on your helm quest.
