Best ventilated helmet?

[asbocob]

Hi all! I'm buying a new hat but want one that is ventilated. How well do ventilated helmets work? Are there any helmets which meet the new hat standards, preferably under the £150 mark (will go a bit higher) and black. I'd prefer a fixed peak helmet and one that comes in a round profile or fits a rounder head. I'm going to a local tack shop to get one fitted but I'd like an idea of what to go for

Gatehouse Chelsea is PAS015 and a the ventilation is very effective.

I have a gatehouse Chelsea pro & am impressed with the ventilation having worn just skulls for years

I'm a Charles Owen head and Gatehouse doesn't dit my head - not sure if that means I'm round or not?
I've just bought a Samshield for just over £200 which is meant to be very cool. Sadly not had chance to try it yet as my horse has gone lame.

I had this issue a few weeks ago! I went for the gatehouse Chelsea pro air. A nightmare to get hold of but I got one after putting in 3 orders with different tack shops.
I've so far found it really good and much cooler then my previous hat

The Gatehouse Chelsea didn't fit me but the Charles Owen Ary8 round fit is brilliant. Yes it is an expensive hat but I find it is really comfortable.

My round head likes the Tipperary Sportage which is ASTM SEI certified so American but I think those are still OK with the new specs. I do buy from USA via eBay but am on my second because they really work for me and I can feel the breeze run through the vents. My vented Gathouse hurts the sides of my head and doesn't feel particularly vented in comparison. I keep looking at the Uvex ones too.

Try the Charles Owen Ayr 8 as it come sin different shapes, love mine for summer, light and ventilated

I bought one of the cheaper UVEX ones, from memory it was about £120.
It is so light and brilliantly ventilated, I love it.

The only thing I do know is that shortly after I bought it the new labelling standards came in and this model didn't meet the competition requirements. Thankfully I had only bought it for home use anyway. Id imagine UVEX have sorted this out by now but worth checking. If they have Id highly reccomend
