That is superb. Lovely bit of craftmanship. I can tell from the picture!

Very nice. I wonder if that'd be legal as a motorbike helmet.

Greame,

Of course you can drink while wearing it - the front flips up ;-)

Ah cool - I figured getting a straw through the visor slot could be tricky

You have, of course, a winch to get yourself out of the mud whilst
wearing that? <G>

Nice work - who's the armourer? Not that I actually feel a need for
any armour just at the moment, but it is always nice to gawp at other
peoples' metalwork. I quite making fine-link chainmail out of
titanium - must be some sort of masochistic streak.

Peter,

It's made by Mark Taylor from Dressed to Kill. He's based in Moulton,
Northamptonshire. AFAIK he does the armour for Warwick Castle, Blenheim
Palace etc etc.

P.S. Current guess at weight = A LOT.
