Does anyone know what Riding Helmets go up to size 63cm?
Something smart and suitable for the dressage and SJ phases of FEI eventing.
So far the only one I can find it the Charles Owen Ventair, which is grand, but would be nice to get something a bit "posher".
Love the Gatehouse ones but they only seem to go up to 61cms.
 
Have you looked at the gatehouse hickstead? That fits my massive head and it is the only velvet hat that does. My husband has a just togs show jumper that is lovely looking and excellent value for money, wrong shape for my head but fits him well.

Charles Owen do huuuge sizes, I tried one of theirs on and they actually put my in a size bigger and padded it to make it fit my head (I didn't buy it obviously, I bought the gatehouse that fitted)
 
Samshield do sizes up to 64 and GPA do sizes up 63 :)

Samshield are very trendy and you have the option of either a matt finish or the suede type finish

If you have quite a round head Champion hats go up quite large (to at least 60) and I'm sure higher. Some of theirs are very smart!
 
Yep I have a champion too, that fits my bti head but last time I looked at them I was disappointed with the smartness of their velvet hats.
 
Thanks all. The Samshields and GPAs are lovely but rather pricey. I think the Ayr8's are probably the only ones that fit the bill although I'm not crazy about them for some reason. They look quite big on normal heads so I dread to think what they would look like on a person with a 63 cm head!! :o
Unfortunately Gatehouse and Just Togs/JTE only seem to go up to size 61. :-(
Caldene also do a really nice leather covered hat but again only go up to 61. Even Antares don't go up to 63 cm as far as I can see. It's not for me by the way... thankfully I have a normal sized head! :D
