kettle hat. breathable and open enough to take a nap in.
Flat-topped helmets are just an unforced error, people learned better pretty quick
cons: doesn't deflect impacts from above
pros: none
pretty simple equation
Frog mouth looks like it is extremely susceptible to being poured hot liquids from enemy
same, im going into battle with an ornate helm shaped like my dog
Burgundian Kettle is a trash tier Kettle Helmet, but they're my favourite kind.
The rest are for poncy knights, Kettle Hats are the workhorse of helmet designs.
i love the swirly dirly, it's probably good in a engineering way too but idk
Hounskull looks like a muppet. Like you would slip in the mud and look up to them mocking you.
It does look ridiculous but I think that cuts both ways. I imagine looking over to see your friends getting cut down by some merciless armored fighter, and all you see when you look over is this doofy snout helmet covered in gore, dark eye slits staring back as he walk toward you like some murderous steel pigman. Nightmare.
Bascinet..
Looks the most comfortable and as it's leather, lighter
Gotta be kettle hat. It protects you from arrows and overhead blows without suffocating you.
It’s gotta be the bascinet, specifically the pig faced bascinet. Medieval hog out or log out
I have had to wear a helmet for work. The one I wear is most like a sallet. If the other ones were so good we'd still be using them.
Shout out to the kettle hat though. Being able to hear and breath properly is gonna do more to keep me from getting got in the face than any extra weight will.
Nah. I think they use great helms. The fire department helmet is basically that same shape. When I worked on an ambulance you got one like that in case you needed to do rescue stuff.
