Hi Guys thanks 
yes its a bit out of the ordinary not enough pilos helms being worn me thinks.
i do cut a crusty old fearsome cartho' in my cone head hat :lol:
it is quite snug & stable i wear my felt pilos under it with some cloth stuffed in the crown of the helm to reduce bounce affect.
re body armour not decided yet ,depends on quotes that im awaiting ....short list is Etruscan style lamellar , bronze muscle cuirass or plain Linothorax .
plan is to recreate an impression of a Punic settler Hoplite in Sicily mid 4th. cent BC in support of the Sacred Band. 8)
