Glittery Riding Hats…… which is the best?

[ElvisandTilly]

I am looking for a glittery riding hat and I have no idea which is the best for protection and which standards of safety level it needs to be! There’s so many to choose from!

I like the Samsheilds shadowmatt with glittery bits but the prices!? Looking for an alternative that looks as good, is safe but a more reasonable price. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Try evoke? I got a nice one recently not too ££

Charles Owen Kylo or Shires Karben might be a bit more wallet friendly!

I’ve got a premier equine one and it’s perfect. It was only around £80 and adjustable for when I switch up my hairstyles

I dont have one but I LOVE the sparkly Uvex ones. They are so pretty.

Another vote for Evoke. Lots of sparkly options, good safety and don’t cost the earth

Quite a few cheaper options so thank you everyone for the suggestions! I think the best option is for me to go to a shop that has them all in stock so I can try them all on

Evoke definitely, I’m not a fan of the dial ones as 9 times out of 10 they are incorrectly fitted, and in fact our tack shop won’t fit them as such because they don’t want to be responsible given the fact the dial can move. They said they need to be so tight that you have to open the dial before you take them off, and the majority of people do not do this.

Evoke are fitted differently and the size cannot be adjusted (although you can get different liners to custom fit) so in would say go for them if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a usex or Sam shield

I love my wide peak miss shields… there are more reasonable finish options which bring the price down. I’ve had 2 custom orders from forelock and load now and love them both!

I don't have the sparkly version but I love my Uvex. If I was a sparkly hat kinda gal, that would be my first choice!

Bought a sparkly Evoke at Blenheim and love it. So comfy and far better value than many other sparkly ones which I cant afford and they're no better than the Evoke safety wise.
