I'm looking to buy a new riding hat and I just wondered which one's you all recommend. I'd prefer the ventilated ones but Im open to suggestions. Thanks!

I have a Champion Ventair, and love it. Its very comfortable and does help to keep my head cool. I have the fixed peak version, but i would imagine the skull cap version is equally as good.

I have the charles owen adventure. It has little vent things in which keep you cool, but you still get a sweaty forehead after hard work!!

An interesting link lec, slightly concerning that my hat comes out quite low. On a purely practical level I have a really wierd shaped head and I find it really hard to get one that fits comfortably. I agree that safety is important but if it doesn't fit on your head then its kind of immaterial.

I find it a little unnerving that one of the biggest producers of riding helmets are coming out with pretty low standards in the ENHAP testing
