Helms & Mantles

Thorsteinn:
For those who use greathelms and cloth sun covers. Does it really help keep the heat down & do you think the same idea could be adapted to conical helms?

Sir Edward:
Yes, the fabric actually does a pretty good job of keeping the helm from baking in the sun. It's quite practical. As for a conical, well, probably but I'm not sure there's historical precedent. ;)

Thorsteinn:
How did mantles come about? What was the historic solution to keeping a conical helm cool in the desert sun?

Sir Wolf:
ya it does work. jsut dont leave your helmet upside down in teh hot sun and then put it on

Sounds like this was learned from firsthand experience?
