I dropped my hat and need a new one! Suggestions very welcome!

[PeanutButterDragon]

Gah!!!! I had a looooonnnnng day at work yesterday heaving and shifting boxes so when I went for my lesson this morning I was somewhat lacklustre and did come unstuck when my instructors youngster decided to tip me off and cracked my head (and thus hat). Reasoned to myself it'd be fine . . . but then on the walk up the 4 flights of stairs to my flat I fell up the stairs and dropped my hat. It rolled down an entire flight and smack bang into the wall! So I need a new one methinks!! Any suggestions under £100 for a good one??

how about a champion vent air......huge fan of them!

Give it a squeeze, and if it doesnt give, I'd say hold on till Christmas....then get one of those lovely new ones with the flag on the top

Okay, probably not the best of advice to give, but my eight year old hat has survived many a tumble and fall!

Another vote for champion ventair here!! I love my hat!

Champion Ventair again

Love it.

Its not just me with that sort of attitude to them - thank you sooo much, seriously

xx

 

[dozzie]

Out of interest, can anyone explain what is so good about the ventair?

 

[MooMoo]

Its really comfy, the foamy stuff on the inside moulds pretty well rather than ones that seem to mould your head and give you a headache!
And as the name suggests it ventilates rather well, and it has a funky dunky silver bit on it. hehe!

Sorry IGNORE the advice to carry on using it, if you fall and it's already damaged it will hurt you much worse than before.
Can't suggest which model but remember manufacturers seem to be different shapes, so try on a few to see what shape your head is..

I have a dublin onyx because it fits my head shape really well. I just go to the tack shop and try loads of different brands on because they are all subtely different

If you make a habit of riding challenging horses I'd say go for a cheap hat - then you won't be tempted to keep it if you fall again!

Another vote for the Dublin Onyx.
I love mine, it's so comfy, has a detachable peak so you can cover it with a silk, it's has padding at the backto support your neck and comes in black or purple (for colour see my sig!)
