How do you even see out of most of these? Doesn't an attacker just have to jauntily skip behind the helmet wearer and become effectively invisible?

Not very well but the closer a hole is to your eyes the more you can see out. ~~Breeding~~ Breathing holes on the mouth and nose can also help you see downwards. I think most medieval battles were fought in formations, your enemies were in front of you, if someone was allowed to "skip back behind you" something already went really wrong.
