@vitalis IT WAS HEARTBREAKING TO HEAR RUSSIAN DUDES IN HMB (HISTORICAL MEDIEVAL BATTLE, WHICH IS BASICALLY EXPERIMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY/FULL CONTACT HEMA TO EMULATE FOOT BATTLE AND FOOT TOURNEYS)
TALK ABOUT HOW THE ARMET SUCKS
THE SWINGING CHEEKPIECES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAKE SUCH THAT THEY BOTH LATCH SECURELY AND UNLATCH WITHOUT THE HELP OF A PRYBAR
A SOLID BLOW TO THE CHIN REGION OFTEN DISLODGES THE CLOSURE AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS NUTSACK FLOPPING AROUND THE SIDES OF YOUR FACE MID FIGHT
CONVERSELY, THE SALLET PLUS BEVOR COMBO IS WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
A TON OF HARNESSES WE'VE RECOVERED FROM MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS ARE PIECEMEAL ASSEMBLAGES FROM MULTIPLE HARNESSES, SO IT WAS KIND OF ASSUMED THAT THE BEVOR AND SALLET ARE KINDA INDEPENDENT.
WHEN THE MONEY STARTED TO COME IN TO THE LARPER COFFERS,
AROUND THE 2010S
AND OLD QUILTED JACKETS AND WISBY TYPE ONE BRIGANDINES STARTED TO BE SWAPPED OUT FOR BESPOKE NEW MAKE PLATE, IT TURNED OUT THAT A SALLET AND BEVOR SIZED FOR THE SAME HEAD, WILL BUTT UP PERFECTLY TOGETHER, WILL MOVE TOGETHER WITH THE SALLET CHIN STRAP TIGHT UNDER THE CHIN OF THE BEVOR.
IT FORMS A PERFECTLY COMFY AND USEFUL UNIT AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR TO SEE HOW THE FALLING BUFFE IS A DEVELOPMENT OF THAT KIND OF THOUGHT

2I really like my synthetic sallet even though its not real steel, just a plastic overlay that goes over my HEMA fencing mask. the reduced FOV is hard to adapt to ngl. I wonder if I can get a bevor wide enough to fit around the steel mesh of my fencing mask...
