Riding under that funny warm yellow thing in the sky today reminded me that before the warmer weather set in this year I really do need to invest in a lightweight ventilated hat...
My current hat is a Gatehouse skull (HS1 I think - it has a leather harness??) and it fits perfectly. I therefore thought the Gatehouse Conquest would do the job... Nope! Ridiculously perched and unstable!! Likewise with the champion ventair (my velvet is a champion)... Infact last summer I tried on ventilated hats from all the big brands and had the same issue - none of them were deep enough, perched on my head and wobbled about no matter how tight! Size wise I'm the largest child's/smallest adults (54 irrc?) but have quite a deep head...
The exception was the PROtector hat which fitted perfectly and felt lush but I just cannot justify that sort of money at the mo just to avoid a sweaty head!
Any suggestions???? Ideally want one that is smart enough for dressage with a peak rather than another skull...
