Name of this sort of helmet?

Guts' Golden Age helmet. I'm curious on what it's based on as well.

[spoiler] Stealth armour thread? [/spoiler]

I hope you don't mind getting stabbed in the face.

He only did lose an eye when he wasn't wearing it.

It's a galea with a visor. It was probably made up.

It always bothered me that the status of the band of the hawk constantly went up but their armor never improved.

There were plenty of helmets with even less face protection in real life

>I don't know how helmets work
Open faced helmets actually survived long past full helmets, bruh. There was always a balance between visibility and protection of the face, and generally speaking being able to see where you're going took priority. The only thing that really worries me about that helmet is how the teeth are unprotected.

Apparently sallets got replaced by Burgonets. How come?

Ah thanks user.
Always wondered, is there a naming difference/term to the pull down visors which cover the entire face and ones which only go up to half(like nose area)?

Kill yourself, my man

What the fuck is stealth armour?

armor with soot on it?

I think he means stealth armor thread as in unofficial armor thread not a thread about literal armor used for stealth.

well mabey he should have said that instead of looking like a retard

The only retard is you. Everyone else understood.

Looks like the same design philosophy as a lobstertail

Renaissance boner for ancient shit and they're great helmets, look cool too desu

If you're a shitty enough fighter to let the enemy get close enough to stab you in the face, no amount of armor would've saved you.

Am I in heaven?

>how the teeth are unprotected.
How are you meant to bite?

There was a thread on here too when they got off the boat I think. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that there's a heafty overlap between anime fans and people who go on Veeky Forums

>oh no, im a massive faggot
>better call him a retard to save face

kill yourself senpai

roman ear hole + lobster pot there were all manners of different faceguards in the medieval era, from masks like those found at sutton hoo to things like this, it is not unrealistic
