well i dont reckon its armor, from my understanding it wasnt until the darkages/medieval times that armor had protection right there... usually on a suit of armor for jousting or other tournament like fighting.

 

but i could be wrong.

hmm im gonna agree wtih vic that its their helmet based on the two pics... if you look close in the pic you posted longbow, they dont seem to be wearing their helms. also you can sort of see an outline of the neck protection on the side of the part in question. prolly their helm ;)
