Tried in a local tack shop with Champion and Charles Owen. The Champion fits comfortable, but it made my head look really huge and silly. And I also don't fancy the design of GPA. Sorry for being so picky here.

I really like the Charles Owen Wellington Pro and GR8, do they fit with round head? Or do they have a round fit version like AYR8? It's so hard to find a perfect helmet for a round headed person! So, do you have any recommendations? Thanks a lot!!
 
I fit a Champion and not Charles Owen, and now have a Gatehouse which I love. They do a lot of different designs depending on the style you want to go for (I have a skullcap because I event so can't have a fixed peak, but would love one of their more "stylish" designs for dressage/SJ at some point). They are more expensive than the others which could be an issue though... Mine was a chpresent from my parents!
 
Charles Owen ayr8 also come in round shape. I ordered mine with special piping and had to email them to request round as it wasn't mentioned on the site but they ordered it in easily.
 
Me too! Round head that is. I haven't found many. Some makes do a round head option. Best I've found is my harry hall legend. I need to upgrade due to the new hat rules and haven't found anyone local who stocks em!
 
I find the junior champion skull caps (not really junior come in all sizes) fit pretty much every shape of head somehow, sorry not that helpful as you've already said you don't like the look of them! I love mine though and don't think it makes my head look too big

Yeah, I know some websites do AYR8 in round fit. If there's nothing better choice I'll stick with this one, except from I prefer the look of GR8 that without the ventilation design.

I know! I really wish I like the look of champion so that I don't need to search for helmets any more.
 
I have had success with the adjustable ones at the back. Have a whitaker one and a champion air tech. Both look quite modern in my opinion, and not too egg head!

Not much choices left for round head. Trying for fit is another big question. Local tack shops are lack of variety on brands and styles or just don't have the latest ones. If buying online, it needs postage most of time. : (

The helmet I mentioned was like the "Pro Plus", you know what I mean? The Air Tech looks actually quite nice! However, this helmet only qualifies Standard:BSEN 1384 and......

"Hats bearing only the EN1384 or BSEN1384 standard will no longer be accepted under BHS hat rules for 2016."
