Well it all depends on the age does it not what age is this set in plus you would wear a helmet do you know how easy it would be to die without a helmet on. Seems that armour was used in 1509.

Looks more like a Gambeson to me. Doesn't matter tho, both were very effective as armor.

Pseudo-Medieval fantasy settings are notoriously loose about technological context. However this kind of armour was about as old as solid plate in general, seeing as how it was often made of damaged or just obsolete cuirasses (waste not want not right?), and

were independently developed in Asia and used for a VERY long time.You'd think that helmets were a no-brainer (ahem) but surprisingly many people skipped on them even in full battlefield harness. There's something to be said of unobstructed senses and breathing after all (which is also why open helmet designs were universally more popular than full-coverage ones).
OUT of battle basically nobody but guards on active duty wore the damn things because they're heavy and uncomfortable at the best of times.

Well you'd be considered a total fucking weirdo then. Because even on the battlefield people liked to put the damn things aside (or at least open the visor in the more complete models) whenever it looked like it wasn't immediately needed, they were just that uncomfortable - which did result in no small number of facial injuries from stray projectiles from afar but them's the breaks.

Feel free to find me a contemporary source describing *anyone* who isn't the equivalent of a guard on active duty wearing one all day long.
I can wait.

No i am just trying to tell you that wearing them is not as bad as you are trying to make it out to be.
And I'm telling you nobody in their right minds would do it day in day out regardless. Nobody wears a fucking bike helmet when not riding either, and those are about as light and well-ventilated as such things now can be.
The point is your original complaint was nonsense.

What that the armour looks ugly and that he does not wear a helmet into battle i think my complaint is fine you just wanted to start a fight.
Except that's not what you were complaining about:
Funfact: warriors pretty commonly didn't don helmets into "civilian" fights - body armour (incl. sometimes quite elaborate concealed jobs) was a very different story. That's for the simple enough reason most of the hazards that made head protection so desirable in set-piece mass combat simply weren't present in "freeform" small-scale fights and keeping your noggin out of the way of ironmongery was altogether easier when you weren't stuck inside a close-order formation with no room to maneuver.
For much of the same reasons unhindered situational awareness and breathing tended to be good ideas.

That was all i was complaining about that i did not like the look of the Armour and i wanted him to wear a helm ok we are done now.
Have you thought that the main character is not a knight yet? He is a hunter.
Remember the game "The Witcher", and the series too. It would look very strange if the Witcher was wearing a helmet.
