[SCA-AE] Society Change to Helm Standards Effective immediately

[Sir Tristen Sexwulf]

This sentence is the addition:
unless they meet the equivalent mass, strength, and weight of steel which has a thickness of no less than .0625 inch (1/16 inch or  1.6mm). Proof of construction technique, materials, and equivalency must be provided to the KEM for an approval for in-Kingdom use.

Alternative materials, such as stainless steel, brass, bronze, or like materials, are permissible as long as the material is structurally equivalent to 0.0625-inch thick steel. The mass of the helm is an important part of the protection. As such, no titanium, fiberglass, aluminum, or other ultra-light materials may be used unless they meet the equivalent mass, strength, and weight of steel which has a thickness of no less than .0625 inch (1/16 inch or  1.6mm). Proof of construction technique, materials, and equivalency must be provided to the KEM for an approval for in-Kingdom use. If a spun-metal top is to be used in the construction of the helm, it shall be a minimum of 0.0747 inch (14-gauge) steel. The process of spinning the top thins the metal, thereby requiring a heavier gauge.
