Not slacking multitasking
So I am just pre-emptively planning Burghley shopping.
I seem to have a pretty oval head, champions don't fit at all, charles owen sort of do but tend to gap at the back and be too tight at the front. Currently have a HS1 which is fine in winter but gives be pressure headaches in the front in summer I tend to use it for anything 'exciting'. Because of the headache issues and a tendency towards extended hacks I also have a gatehouse air rider with a dial in it which is a saving grace in summer because I can let it out if my head seems to have expanded. BUT it is only EN1384 rated, and while I am happy using it on Frank I am riding a few other beasts now etc.
I rather hoped that the CO 4star might resolve the headache issue but it seems to be a rounder fit that their others so that doesn't work. Tried the ProII on but same result as usual with a CO- they would have to pad the back and I suspect too tight at the front.
Are there any PAS rated hats with dials? Any skull hat suggestions that would be worth trying that fit similar to the HS1 as the best found so far? Some velvets seem to fit me better but I don't really want/need one of those!

, I'm not sure the air rider is the perfect shape (and in winter I use it with two liners (Frank stuck his foot in the first one I had!) ) but because of the dial it moulds round a bit better. Longer term I will be looking at getting another beast of my own but having used the HS1 a bit in the last two weeks because I've been riding a couple of proper sized horses has just been a bit painful!
