Found this on another forum:

http://www.windrosearmoury.com/zc/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30_131&zenid=813862ac5b8096df55a0d33be17a7e58

Not cheap, and not in large etc till their next run, they seem a better choice than the standard 3-weapon masks most in WMA use. I am looking to get one as I feel much safer with the old biscut in steel than half protected by air.

Plus they look cool! Cool

Thanks for posting that Nathan. Some interesting items on that site. I might look at the helmet too.

Well after some quick research on these helmets, it seems that they have had a very good response.
Although they may have some little changes later on like the leather strap that holds the visor down is held in place with a dome and can be knocked off causing you to stop fighting and reattach it, so that may change along with the bib, that may become longer.
Anyway the medium is out of stock, though more will follow...I paticually like the periced faceplate. I wanted a Klappvisor type helm and this will proberly be what I want and up to all standards too! besides Mr C.H.Tobler says they are great to fight in [the periced version] and look good...sold!

Tobler was one of the major consultants with regards to the helms.

Now to rob a bank.............You didn't read that
