This was truly a pleasure and honor for me as a follower went out of their own way to send and gift me with a helmet with the sole intention of seeing how it would perform. It was also amazing to see the design in action of the faceplate and the differences it made as much of what I had read theorized the benefits but I was able to see it in action. Hope you enjoy watching it as much enjoyed filming it.

    No wonder I never get any of my arrows back in those games. Makes sense now.
  • @MadrasArsenal
    The helmet actually performed better than I expected against the war bow. I just cant imagine getting clobbered with a gothic mace like that in real life....would take lots of mead and sweet rolls to recover from that.
  • @evanleclaire
    That Bodkin flying off in slow motion was epic
  • @circleofowls
    Holy hell man, I've seen a lot of nerds beating on armor but your form is spot on, those were some devastating blows. Probably most of them were survivable on their own until you brought out Grond, that just hurt to watch. Really epic video.
  • @nevisstkitts8264
    Excellent video! Fluting can also increase the stiffness and strength of sheet steel.
  • @astropolski
    Please get a Warhammer with its classic spike for these videos. Would love to see that added in.
  • @anangryranger
    Well now, that's an interesting design. The visor has some remarkable features. It's ability to deflect impact from various weapons is really ingenious. Many thanks for the sacrifice of your arrows to demonstrate this unique piece of armored headgear!👍

    Well, I imagine Sean can rest easy now knowing his helmet would have kept him safe from anything short of a maniac with a two handed mace sneaking up behind him

    Every strike had me yelling "ooooooohh" lol
  • @GodittoC
    That certainly's going to leave a mark on me
  • @jonpong8429
    Bro just like the main character coming out of the game

    Great videos you’ve been making. I am also a huge fan of ancient warfare and weaponary. I signed up for archery lessons just one and half months ago and your videos of challenging more and more powerful long bow played as a factor of my final decision to experience archery myself. One advice for melee weapon tests: perhaps you have strong faith in the quality of melee weapons from your arsenal, but wearing specific eye-protection goggles could be the last option of protection to you if the test doesn’t go as well as expected.

    There is a nice horse in the background before the first test. There were also mountains in the background during the side shots. I wish I could be like that follower, but I'm broke. I would have bought you that Mongolian bow.
