Why the switch from Montefortino to Coolus/Iperial helmets happened?
#3
The only two reasons I see is that the Imperial Helmet covers the head better and maybe just a trend.
But although the Imperial hlemt provides a better cover, it seems to me, that the helmet is less comfortable to wear and its more problematic to move your head, because of the big neck guard.

The Montefortino seems to be a very good compromise between protection, comfort and look of the helmet.
