But what the hell are you doing that requires head gear? Your disclaimer of being fought in and dented has me worried. Im picturing some CF geek beating on his little brother who is wearing a suit of medieval platemail.

On a related note, there are two brothers where I live who make armor for hollywood sets. They did all the designs for Beuwulf/Grendal...and a bunch of other movies I have forgotten. Think they have gotten an Academy Award for designs. BIG MONEY in it. So if you get your 120 hours down, you might be RICH, cause your helmet looks pretty good.
