I currently have a Charles Owen skull hat that I use for everything - hacking, dressage, sj, xc. Unfortunately I get a very sweaty head while riding and my hat has suffered! I'd like to spend some Christmas money on a new hat with a removable liner that I can wash regularly, and replace when it gets really manky or compressed. But I'm torn between:
1) keeping my skull hat for xc and buying a very ventilated modern style peaked hat for all non xc activities
2) Just buying a replacement skull hat to do everything in
I've only ever had skull caps for 35 years of riding, so I'm a bit unsure about option 1! Are the modern helmets really likely to keep my head cooler or is that just marketing hype?
If someone could just decide for me please I'd really appreciate it ☺ï¸
Oh, and recommendations gratefully received!
