help which riding hat????

[scribble]

I need a new hat for riding next year as i am starting my youngster and hopefully starting to compete too. I saw the Charles owen Ayr 8 at burghley and really liked how it looked on, however it is £130 i think. I also saw the GP8 but doesnt seem as good??? what about Champion hats Ventiar or Evolution? I am looking to do affiliated eventing and british dressage comp so needs to be acceptable by both organisations. OH has said he will buy me one for christmas. Anyone had any experience or advice of any.

I have the Champion Ventair and find it a really, really comfortable hat to wear. Had it about a year and would highly recommend!

I've got a champion ventair riding hat and a Gatehouse HS1 skull cap, both I find mega comfy and I dont get too hot in either

Also got a champion ventair, really comfy, but my head still gets quite sweaty...maybe thats just me though!
