Awesome Helmet! Loving this helm, I was really trying to be objective and think of some negatives, and I was able to come up with a few, but all in all this is a marvellous helmet. The top visor section stays up great, offering fantastic visibility, however the bottom visor wont stay up on its own, which personally isn’t an issue. This is excellent for LARP or any other application, I’m just not too certain about SCA or other full contact sports. The gauge may not be ideal, and the segmented visor may be an issue as it can’t be fixed downwards. Light modification could easily solve this, and I’m not a SCA or full contact sportsman, just a LARPer so it may not be a big deal at all. Just covering my bases.
All in all it’s a fantastic, comfortable helm, the articulation on the gorget allows for a good degree of head movement which is marvellous. Not to mention you can’t go wrong for 100 dollars.
Comfortable, but a bit big. Pros:
Very Durable
Surprisingly good field of view
Comfortable
Comes with padding
Good neck support

Cons:
Very Heavy
Sometimes visor doesn’t close all the way
