I need a new hat - recommendations please!

[ginginandtonic]

I currently have my old jockey skull cap, but I suspect it does not meet safety standards since it is so old

.

Please recommend me a new hat - I'm not so keen on the modern plastic looking ones.. so either a traditional velvet style or a more up to date skull.

Pics would be helpful too, some are more flattering that others I think.

Help please!

ETS: hat just for hacking btw

I have a champion ventair skull and it by far the best hat i've had

I have a Charles Owen skull cap, I chose one of their kids range as the kite mark is the same but the padding seemed less bulky

Love the Charles Owen Pro II Skull cap - vented and keeps head lovely and cool

I have Champion Ventairs - The skull, SJ hat and new SJ hat all of them are fab! Although the original SJ hat did fade, they replaced it free of charge for one of the more recent ones (same model but made from a different fabric) which I have had 12 months and hasn't faded at all.

I have a LAS Vega shuttle/deluxe

and look relatively nice in it:

Charles Owen AYR 8 love it and is alot cheaper in Surrey Equestrain

Cool head and looks good too.

I have two, a champion jockey skull and also a harry hall elite, both are very comfy, although i prefer the harry hall as i think it looks smarter!

Another vote for champion ventair. I have both skull and normal hat. Much prefer the skull though

I have the new (ish) gatehouse HS1, must say one of the best hats I've every bought! Very comfy and very safe!
