the Kettle Hat

They are effective helmets but with very little face protection (people often say no face protection, but forget that the rim is actually a form of face protection because it will stop or deflect blows coming down from above.)

This lack of facial plates is what gives them completely unrestricted vision and breathing however, very useful things on the field of battle.

the Bascinet

it leans more toward being like an Armet.

So, in terms of the Corinthian helmet itself, it’s quite the middle-of-the-road helmet. It offers good protection, especially against cuts, and also offers only slightly restricted vision and breathing.
