Questions from the Knight's Marshal:
Do we need to set a day aside for the sole purpose of padding these helms?
Not necessarily. Include it with armoring day or do it on a fighter
practice.
Do we want to try to include this in the armoring day on the 25th?
Yes.
Am I correct in assuming that if you use one these helms, you need to
provide the padding?
Yes. I can provide buckles and some leather for straps, but I don't have
padding.
What is the easiest and least expensive source for padding material?
Ideally, you have a combination of open and closed cell foam. The closed
cell is usually
acquired from the sleeping bag pads that are about 3/8 inch blue stuff.
I did mine a bit differently. I bought a karate head protection and put
that in the helm
(after removing the ear protectors). This works well, but they cost
$30-40. Foam is
much cheaper and works as well.
Just a few questions that leap to mind.

Glad to see the mind at work.
In service,
