Helmets for round heads

[Orchardbeck]

I recently had a spill whilst wearing my HS1 so reluctantly I guess it is time to replace it. As we now have to make bookings to have hat fittings I'd like to research things a bit before I go to an actual shop (plus they might not hold what I want). I have a roundish wide head, size 2 or 57cm. In the past Champion skulls have fit me, Charles Owen hats feel like they squeeze the sides.

I'm sticking to flatwork and dressage so something that looks modern and smart would be nice, navy for competitions I guess, or a skull with a cover (or is that not cool any more if we don't event?!) and don't want to spend a fortune so no Kep or Samshields!

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

CO also do a round option now - I have those after previously being in Champion.

Have the Ayr8 and the 4Star, especially love the airflow I get on the 4Star

Round head here too! Harry hall legend if you can get them, Charles Owen round head, and champion, also work for me.

I have had 3 CO rounds and love them.

I had the Ayr8 which was lovely but i fell on my head when it was 6 months old and couldn't afford another I know have the kiddie version and a 4Star (I won that) and they are all soooo comfortable after years of having temple squishers!

Charles Owen every time, I have a huge round head and they are the only ones to fit.

I had no idea CO did round heads!!! What a revelation! Incidentally I have gone for the Champion Tech Air Deluxe in Navy, we'll see how that goes.

i have a champion skull cap but if i get back into riding i think i should buy a new hat. the tech air deluxe looks quite nice, let us know how you get on with it...
