Speaking of neck guards......infantry helmets where a broader neck guard should be......IMHO.......is not the norm. In fact, in the 1st C AD, there was the Gallic C and Italic D with ridiculously large neck guards while the Gallic D and G had really small neck guards both of which were used in battle.
The thin crown on a helmet does not mean is flimsy necessarily. Is that not the way some of the Coolus helmets were......quite thin at the top? Many show just cracks because they were so thin.
