Skull Caps for Oval Heads?

[jm2k]

Has to be junior fittings as most adults are too deep and end up on my eyes, but struggling to find a skull for a fairly narrow, oval head.
Daily riding is a brilliant Just Togs dial hat but with the regulations of no peaks in XC, I cant wear it

Any ideas what makes / brands to try please?

I have an oval head and champion hats fit me.

Not all the Charles Owen and Champion are oval, the J3 from Charles Owen is but you might find it too deep.

Charles Owen Def NOT Champion for me

Charles Owen for me, all other skull caps I've tried are too round

I have a Charles Owen J3 and a Gatehouse HS1.....but must stress that not all Charles Owens (or other brands) will fit the same shape head, they have various styles of hat within their range to suit a variety of head shapes, so go to a tack shop and get someone their to fit one for you

thats the problem, most of the shops near have a very limited supply so cant try many different ones on as they all same to stock just a couple :/

going to ring around tomorrow and see if i can get two or three shops covered but they all quite a few miles away, but this saves me a bit if they only stock one brand which isnt suitable so i can miss that shop

Again Charles Owen, I was recently heartbroken when the Ayr 8 I tried on didn't fit me because it was too oval. I ended up with a Champion (which is very nice too) so probably wouldn't recommend those for oval heads.

Try Pro Tector. They do made to measure through the post. A friend of mine used this and says she has never had such a comfortable hat. Give them a call for details

My oval fixed peak got stolen so i bought a skull cap in the same size, but it moves about xc/jumping. Its a champion.

Ive been told to go for charles owen, i tried one on and they seem a much better fit

Fab looking hats especially if made to measure but huge price is out of my range
Different if I was competing or regularly riding XC but not for fun a few times a year.

charles owen kids own is the best for me, as even the dial up ones are too round for my head !!!

Same here. My last skull, the J3, fitted me really well. I recently bought the 5 star skull but unfortunately its a tiny bit big round the sides so wearable but doesnt fit as well as my J3 did.

Find a good Charles Owen stockist and you will almost certainly find something to fit. I think I tried on just about every hat in the shop to get something to find my head.
