falling buffe w/ such a gran sallet is lowkey a look, very interested in how articulated it could be since it would be difficult to mount to the helmet as you usually would with a buffe.
the general shape of the sallet is maybe a few grains too exaggerated for my taste but it's pretty novel to have that visor shape and mostly neck-based facial protection
