Wearing Late Roman Helmets

[Salvianus]

Salvete.

I'm on the lookout for a helmet to suit my 4th-5th century milites infantry impression and wondered if anyone could advise about any differences in the way they actually feel to wear.

I like the well protected look of reconstructed 'Burgh Castle' types, with large cheek pieces & nasal . It being found here in Blighty is an authenticity advantage too. However, I'm not the strongest man on Earth and overheat easily, so I would be interested if anyone felt that the lighter looking Intercisa / Augst types were particularly more comfortable.

I also wondered whether ear holes made much difference & whether hinged cheek pieces made much noise, for example compared to strap attachments (my problem is sensitive hearing - what a wreck!).

Cheers
