Morning,
I have had a Champion Ventair kids hat for years and have bought the same model twice as I liked it so much, plus it looked just like the adult version was just cheaper! However now it needs replacing after quite a few falls in the last few years, and after whacking my head a couple of weeks ago (lunging accident) it just doesn't feel right.
I'm probably going to buy online as I am short of time at the moment and there aren't many good tack shops near me. The Champion one I already have has gone up by £20 since I last bought it and i have also seen a few cheaper ones come onto the market, e.g. Fouganza and Horze. The hat is just for everyday use but it needs to be smart enough for unaffiliated dressage and showing, just low key things. I have tried Charles Owen before and they don't fit my head well, so anything that fits like those are out.
It's been such a long time since I bought a new hat and the market seems to have changed, so I was wondering if any of you had bought a cheaper riding hat and had any opinions on whether they are good or whether I should steer clear?
Thanks in advance, Tash
