Would this helm be legal?

So last night i was surfing around starting to look for armor since i've been part of dag for about a year. But looking over the rules i wasn't sure if it would be legal.


Here is the link to the helm in question.

Now My question is, is it legal?

Most people are fine with pointed leather spots, so you're almost certainly fine in terms of its design. However, I doubt it is legal leather thickness for Dagorhir.

I've seen plenty of Dagorhirrim make a helm using that basic pattern, so you could always make your own with legal leather thickness.

Like he said. With the price, I doubt very much that it's legal thickness leather, however the design itself would probably pass.

buy the helm, buy some rivets, then punch holes, add rivet. = Helm legal.

Legal yes.. but I question the air flow in it.. breathing may come in handy.

Nah, he can just hold his breath. Under stress, the body can produce all the oxygen he needs...
