So which do I do?

I'm leaning more towards leather helmets, because I can put fur lining on the inside and they can wear them to school in january and february, when it might* get cold. I don't know about you guys, but if I had a leather helmet that actually looked like a fantasy esque helmet back in elementary, I would have been hot gak.

*Cold in texas. That's a joke.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493436/5056644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493436/5056644.page GMT Chainmail vest or leather helmet?

Hah! If only there were ways to conveniently adjust the size of both. They could just sorta continue to fight over it as they grow up. Wits or brute force, the trophy for knocking your sibling down a peg is fancy armor.

Could always get them anything besides chainmail and a leather helmet, but that's not what the threads about.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493436/5057715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493436/5057715.page GMT Chainmail vest or leather helmet?

Well I'm working with 12 guage stainless steel, so a 4 in one could be weaved pretty quickly. However, you're absolutely right about them outgrowing it pretty fast.

as a mail coat could always be opened up and enlarged as they grew (if they remained interested)
