How do you? Do you? hide riding helmets at SCA practices or events?
Tiffany Parrett
Some do and some don't. I believe Alexis has posted (numerous times in this group) her hand-out for easy "How To Hide" instructions.
Most in Calontir don't wear helmets. But I know some areas that almost exclusively wear helmets. *shrugs* If you search through this group - you'll find several discussions on the matter.
Kathy Paulson
Many do in the West Kingdom. I made this for a recent event. It was simple and effective and documentable per Else Hunrvogt.

Chaperon-type cover on a brimless riding helmet- jockey skull helmets work great, or one with a removable brim.
Michele Jordan Nufer
I wear a helmet, every ride, every time. I have a mantle sewn to a lycra helmet cover or I just wear my velvet helmet cover.
Alexis Garrigues
A really easy one: just a 3 yd length of ~18" wide linen wrapped around a jockey skull helmet like a turban. It doesn't cover the harness, but it's easy. Make sure you get it secure- it's no fun to have it unwrap & be bundled up like a mummy all of a sudden. Not for slippery helmets.
Wendy Misuinas
I have one of these from Tall Toad:
http://www.talltoad.net/Circlet-Headdress.php and it works great. While it's more fantasy then historical, it does cover the helmet nicely.
Alexis Garrigues
Here's another- a felt hat made over an extra-large block that matches the circumference of my helmet, with an attached coif to cover the harness. It's a funny looking hat, but I won't ride without the helmet.

I modified a jockey-style helmet with a little leather, horse hair and acrylic paint to give it a Roman look.

Veil & wimple over my helmet...
