  1. I thought of another disadvantage to armets. When the design is made to be as close- and form fitting as possible, the protection against concussive force will probably be decreased. Compare it to a larger helmet that is suspended from the top of your head with more air between the inside of the helmet and your skull, if you get struck on the head the weight of the helmet will absorb a lot of the concussive energy. It might make your helmet move and shift in an uncomfortable way, but it beats getting a fractured skull. With this in mind, I'd feel more safe wearing a frogmouth if going up against an opponent armed with a reinforces club or mace, but less so if wearing an armet.
