Sugarloaf helmet, suggestions for neck protection

<< < (2/5) > >>

merc3065:
I like the standard that you showed.  That looks like it may do the trick if the light arming cap doesn't work out.  I'm just concerned that the chain coif I have will dig into my head. 

Thorsteinn:
My friend owns this helm and the attached aventail. Perhaps hiding an aventail inside the helm might be an option?

Are you doing any combat in it?

merc3065:
This is my helmet:


I will be doing combat in it so I need something that will keep me from getting stuck in the neck.  Not full out combat re-enactment (light controlled sparring) mind you, but for safety's sake I would feel more comfortable covering my neck.

Sir Wolf:
you usually wear this with your full plate outfit right? your gorget needs to have a neck rim. you can see one on mine:

merc3065:
Makes sense, and yes, I wear it with the plate.

So I need a different gorget than what I have currently as the one I have just connects the pauldrons together in the other thread.

That may actually solve both problems by getting a different gorget...
