I very much appreciate Nate showing that you're meant to wear soft cloth, padding, mail, and maybe more padding BEFORE the helmet. Every game in existence making you craft armor out of just metal bars with no lining or padding, that's just illogical - which always brings me to the only sensible piece of armor in World of Warcraft, some metal chestplate that takes a leather chestpiece in its crafting.

@lasselen9448 Жыл бұрын
In GW2 all heavy armour sets use cloth padding during the crafting process. Casing and padding are crafted separately, then put together to craft the armour piece. The end result is rarely historically accurate or even believable though, but fantasy MMORPGs...

I feel that if you account for the fact that adventurers basically *live* in their armor, the Kettle Helm makes a *lot* of sense. If you put your helmet on when you get up in the morning and don't take it off until you go to bed at night, comfort and convenience become very important.

I mean that makes some sense, but helmets, even modern ballistic helmets, are just uncomfortable to wear, even the best ones. For most people, unless they're expecting to be attacked, they'll put their helmet somewhere more comfortable, like on a pack or on a belt, etc. In reality, on a long journey it's unlikely you'd be wearing your helmet the whole time, so a kettle helm would probably be even better as the shape lends itself quite nicely to storage on a pack more easily than some of the other more odd shapes.

For a fantasy adventure group, field of view and ease of communication are going to be at a premium. Bear in mind, these are small teams of individual specialists, not formations of soldiers, and they routinely fight with a fair degree of separation from each other, frequently against multiple opponents. There isn’t a fixed chain of command typically, either, so staying coordinated is crucial given they often have little or no idea what they will be fighting against next until the fighting starts.

I also have a soft spot for the Kettle Helmet. For adventuring it just has so much utility not just as a helmet but as a proper hat, and it is most likely the easiest on the coin purse considering how little work really needs to go into that, especially compared to the full helms with visors or articulation and such.

And something brought up by another KZfaqr is that you're not going to be in full armour the whole time. If you're marching, you don't want to be wearing your war armour, that's with the rest of your gear. What you want is something so that if you do get attacked on the road, you're not completely unarmoured, and that is where the kettle helmet excels - you could comfortably wear it all day every day, yet it offers a very good amount of protection, and if you know you're about to be in combat, you can switch to your better helmet

Back when I was in the US Army, we had the ACH, which is little more than an iterated Stahlhelm with modern materials. Had seen plenty of training aides showing the actual battle damage to them, but the padding for them was just a selection of velcro shaped pads. When I was in training, we had a few of the older K-pots with rigging instead, and always though it would be nifty if we could make a modern helmet with the protective qualities and general design of the ACH but with the rigging of the older models. I know we wouldn't because of the fact that it would have to be so much bigger...
@KimRobertson 11 ай бұрын
The suspension rig in those helmets is comfortable but should still be used with padding at least to the sides. The suspension asorbs shock from downward strikes. Side strikes have little or no absorsion. In a bscinet with a chain aventail, this weight of the chain serves to absorb some sideways momentum and protect your neck from wiplash. One topic that these guys should have covered with more clarity is that heavy helmets have higher innate inertia meaning that they take much more energy to move and so protect you from neck injury. If you are larping then go for a light helm. If you are fighting with Buhurt or other full speed full contact style then absorbing energy from all directions is very important.

The visored barbute is very proeminent in fantasy, games, tabletop etc because it fits nicely in the medieval adjacent universes, it's very close to what actually existed, it's very functional, it's one of the best compromise between visibility, protection and ability to breathe, and it looks absolutely amazing, and it doesn't have an overblown fantasy look to it, which ironically makes it perfect for fantasy worlds

A fun theory that has been in the back of my mind is that many Celtic helmets actually did have wings and many Viking helmets did have horns, but they were not literal wings and horns. In a some ways the cheek guards look like/resemble flapping wings to a common person. Similar to the nasile guard, same may have thought they looked a lot like a horn or tusk. I wander if there are any historical records that would suggest that. Haha if true, that Roman ridge helmet is both winged and horned! Best of both worlds!

if i had to pick a helmet, i'd choose the Kettle and Great/Barrel helms. and i'd only be wearing a gambeson - with leather vambraces considering i'd be carrying a bow.

What I really liked about this video WHICH YOU SHOULD DO WAY MORE especially in this cimparison is show you changed the vision for the viewer while showing the helmet, this was really good.

I love the idea of the kettle helm. I'm currently working on a little comic book idea and I think it would work great for the main character! It's not meant to be historic so I might add a nose bridge to make it a little unique :) learning a lot about this stuff from the channel, thanks!

The sallet is by far my favorite helmet. The fact that it had great breathability and protection is just amazing. Plus, it's the one helmet I have IRL
@coopercummings8370 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, in my opinion it is a strong contender for the best helmet for an adventurer, at least if they have more money, particularly when paired with an articulated bevor. If they need visibility and breath ability they could raise the visor, tilt the helm back, and lower the bevor, and the face would be completely open, but it still offers excellent protection to the back of the neck and sides of the helm, and at any time if they feel additional protection is needed they could very rapidly raise the bevor, tilt the helm and lower the visor, and they can do any combination of tilted helm, raised visor, and lowered bevor as needed.
@Xener09 Жыл бұрын
Gotta hard disagree, the Sallet with the bevor that covers your whole mouth and nose, with nothing more than a slit for vision has got to be the worst helmet for adventuring. You open yourself to ambushes with how limiting it is for visibility, and it's not quick and efficient to add/remove the face coverage. A simple Bascinet is probably the best. You have tons of options for face masks (pig face, klappvisor, nasal, cross and more) they can be swung open and quickly shut when needed, or fully removed. Most of this comes from HMB experience, but having fought in both helms, I HATED the sallet and its one of the least popular in the sport. It excels in protection which is why it was prominent in history but its a big trade off, they have terrible breathing and terrible vision. (when combined with the bevor) but without the bevor your throat is exposed. The armet has most of the same features as the salet but it allows instant flip up of your vision AND breathing when needed. You can only flip the vision of a Sallet in mid combat. the bevor takes time to equip.

The picture of the barbute with the close-helm-looking face shield attached looks so sick. Something I don't hear talked about a lot is not just the size of the eye slits but the distance that they rest from your face, which would affect how much you can see a ton - and I think too the chance of stuff getting into your eyes.

I love the Hounskull and German Sallet helmets. To me they look absolutely fierce, and the full plate with all the decorations and ridges that are usually associated with Sallet helmets are just wonderful. I do enjoy that the Brits looking for a helmet for their doughboys in WW1 looked at the Kettle helmet and thought, "yeah this will work" and it absolutely did. As for my helmet pick if I were an adventurer? If I had lived my life as a boy, teen, and adult learning to fight in armor and all the intricacies that entails then I'd definitely go for the Hounskull. If I was a merc previously or just some dude I'd pick the kettle and call it a day. Great video though, I learned ALOT.

Kettle helmet and sallet are probably some of the best adventurer helmets (alongside Roman style helmets) exactly because they were favored for the common foot soldier; a soldier, like an adventurer, needs to be able to do a lot of menial tasks without being hindered by the armor and most of the heavier, more covering helmets would simply be too much of a hassle for every-day use.

Shad makes a good point. As with all equipment, what matters the most is what it's going to be used for. You won't choose the same helmet when fighting bandits and when hunting dire wolves: in the first case, you need that protection, but in the second case, you need your hearing and sight even more than usual, and the only threat to your head is low branches (unless you get knocked down, but even the most open helmet will still protect your skull from bites; make sure you have that mail coiffe though). As for armour piece priorities... Yeah. I remember my lamia mage's first piece of armour was a helmet forcefully shoved onto her head by her teammate: "Yes, carrying a load is bad for your spells, but get that snuffin' crit immunity!"

Good mix of fun and education (great for getting the kids interested), and I think they appeal to both newbies unfamiliar with the sword community and those of us who have been around for decades. Really enjoying the recent videos. Keep it going!

Something I loved about the siege of helms deep, with all the uruk-hai stood at the wall, was their breath vapour shooting out of the bottom of the helmets. It was great visual language, it made them look pumped up and mean. With those helmets I can just imagine standing on the battlefield early on a foggy autumn/winter English morning, cavalry and knights billowing vapour into the air waiting for the battle to begin.
