Champion Ventair vs Charles Owen GR8

[Justy]

Well, tomorrow i'm going to buy my first hat lol!

poll will decide which one as i like them both but finances (and the other half!) say one only!!!

I would see what one fits you the best really. I have a Champion Ventair - I had huge problems finding a hat to fit my head. I didn't think I was a freak but nothing would really sit on my head properly. The Champion was the best by far

^^^ I tried on both last week and they are both comfortable! Now I have been paid Its purchase time!

Oh, and the GPA i like is actually called the Speed Air and NOT the Airflow as i previously suggested

Yep ! And also doesn't come out very well in the safety ratings........but keeps your head cool...and looks good too

GR8 - it's soooooooo lovely, forget I'm wearing it.

Think it does depend on whether you're a Champion head shape or a CO head shape. Champions dont fit me at all, where as my CO hats (have a jockey skull too) fit like a glove

I'm the other way round , Charles Owen hats don't fit at all but Champions are fine!
I like the Ventair - OH has one and its by far the smartest hat he's ever had, doesn't look bulky at all.
