Shapes of Hats

[vhf]

My trusty Gatehouse HS1 met the tarmac this morning, courtesy of a speeding motorbike. mad Given how sore I am, I am exceptionally thankful to it, but it now resides in a bin, harness removed.
Obviously I'll get a replacement fitted, and I was once a fitter myself; but in these times, I want to limit trials and time in shop etc. Frankly, 2 hours in A&E was over my quota of human contact, but the staff were, as always, wonderful.
So, which non-peaked options should I aim to try on do people think please? (I won't have a huge range to try on within 40 miles... and safety has to come before beauty when it comes to budget). Many thanks!

I've tried on gatehouse and found the fit similar to charles owen before, a bit oval. I have a protector 2 now from charles owen, super comfortable, and a bit more ventilated than my j3 was

Thank you. CO on the list!

some CO are oval shaped and some are round shaped. I normally find champions fit me best but when I got my last hat, the fitter told me the CO models that would fit me and that's what I've ended up with. Just chucking that in because I think in the past you were either a CO shape or a champion shape but now there's some overlap.

Ah yes. Seen it. Ironically, saw that on FB yesterday, didn't pay a lot of attention!

Yes! In my day as a fitter there was definitely a "shape"!
OK, so maybe I'm just going to have to hope the fitter knows their shapes. Just don't want to put anyone at more risk than necessary. Thank you.
