I always picture a swashbuckling pirate jumping down my throat, using his knife to slow down his decent like in the cartoons when they did it to the sails on the ship. ☠️

Yeah the reduced visibility has always been a big concern for me. If I had lived in that time period, I feel I would have opted to not wear one unless in a full on battlefield where arrows are raining down.

I’ve always wondered how the fit is on those and how they were to actually wear in battle! I always imagined it to be a nuisance and get in the way of a melee battle. What did you think of the fit?
