It`s not a bad idea for a helmet lining, but a rope skull-cap is no use for any serious head-blows, co`s the rope bends and your skull doesn`t...

If you go for the armour being for deflection rather than impact stopping - I'm sure a stiffen rope helmet would be better than a bouffant!

yeah its all good to 'aim' for defelction
but any one whos done lots of combat knows that one of every three blows you take will land square on
but i like the idea of stiffed rope execelnt for early club armour especillay if bits of stuff are added like teeth and horn
dont the aztecs/natives of other places, make some similar stuff |
