Hi all-
I'm from the U.S., down in Australia and need to buy a riding helmet as I'm going to try to get back into the sport. I'm looking into ordering a Charles Owen as many of the brands available here in local stores either don't fit my head or aren't PAS 015, and I know from experience that the CO fit my head well.
There's one model I saw online that we don't have in the U.S. - the Young Rider's Jockey Skull. It's literally a couple hundred dollars' difference to the Pro or J3.
Now, I have an adult-sized head (2.5 or 7 1/8) and this helmet does come in that size, but does anyone happen to know if the helmet itself is proportioned differently than its adult counterparts? Or is just lower in price due to the different harness (nylon vs leather)?
Thanks everyone!
