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.
