Is there a helmet that does not take away the light armor perk? Every, helmet I’ve tried nullifies it, even the light cuman helmet. Looking at the armor on the KCD wiki I am guessing not.
I think a padded coif is as good as it gets. Helmets clatter somewhat when you’re trying to be stealthy anyway.
True, but the light armor perk makes it easier to dodge during combat [supposedly]. If I want to go stealth, I normally remove a lot of gear anyway. Right now I use the a padded coif, a noble mail coif and some kind of hat. That provides at least some head protection.
