Adjustable dial hat

[Moogleberry]

Hi

after a tumble I need a new hat …was professionally fitted a few years ago and Charles Owen fit me perfectly, most recent one I bought online in the same size as the one I’d been measured into and it has been great

I was considering the CO Kylo but see it has an adjustable dial, old one was an Ayr8 but prices seem to have gone up since I last bought one, very expensive to replace like for like

my question is how do people find the adjustable dial on hats? Do they stay secure and would they fit as well long term as one without?
does anyone have the Kylo? How do you find it?

many thanks in advance

I had a John whitaker dial hat and it stayed secure. I never fell off while wearing it though.

I have a uvex with the dial, I like it, had a bad fall in the last one and it was great. My tip would be to loosen it off, put it on, then tighten

As above. I find my uvex really comfortable

I don't think you will even find a bike hat without a dial fit. They work fine on riding hats too.

I've got a Casco and I love it. Super light and it stayed on when I fell off !

I looked at those but I was worried my helmet cam wouldnt stick to the smooth outer

I bought a uvex last summer and like it very much.
I've had Charles Owen skull caps for years, they fit well but they are heavier than this Uvex

I've got a Gatehouse with the same outer and my Techalogic sticker fixing is solid

My uvex is that smooth surface and I havent had an issue with my camera staying on

I've had three with a dial and they all stay in place well.

Another Uvex owner here. Love mine. It's light and very wearable. I undo the dial a couple of notches when I take it off and tighten it up again when I put it on. (Get the one with MIPS!) ...........

Another vote for the Uvex MIPS hat, it's great.

This is great feedback thanks, anyone with experience of these for kids? Age 9 upwards? Thinking of getting one. Thanks

 

[Moogleberry]

Thanks for all the replies … pain having to get a new one when old one was so comfortable but will go with the dial and try to get to a shop and try the MIPS for sizing
