Sir Jason Simonds:
I was in deep debate over the rondels.... But I really liked the look of the fans so thats the way I went. Now I just have to make up my mind over which direction I wanna go with helm options. Also need to investigate further into what was used for the time period for neck coverage.
Aiden of Oreland:
Standards I am pretty sure were used at this time.

This is true. Except in the 14th century for whatever reason they were called pisans... (basically a maille collar).
Other than that the only neck defense would have been the aventail hanging from your bascinet.
Sir Jason Simonds:
So then the pisan isn't absolutely necessary when wearing the bascinet and aventail?

Nope. Pisan = optional.
There is little to no evidence for any rigid neck defense (like a gorget) at this time until they start being integrated in to great bascinet designs of the early 15th century.
So you can safely get away with no neck defense except for your aventail and be perfectly historical.
