Skulls for oval heads.

[Onyxia]

Has anyone with an oval head found a good fitting skull?
I much prefere them to hats for day to day stuff but can't find one that fits well

Obviously I am going to have new hat fitted and will only buy one both myself and the fitter feel is correct, but the only take shop within a hour travel time only stocks Charles Owen, which do not fit at all

Champion Ventair fits me really well. If it helps I also wear a Dublin Onyx and Charles Owen SJXP.

I have an oval head. Charles Owen are a horrible fit on me. Champion or gatehouse fit me best. I have a gatehouse hs1 at the minute.

I have an oval head, my charles owen adventura fits quite nicely.

OH has a Champion for his (very) oval head! He says it's pretty comfy although he very, very rarely gets on a horse so it hasn't been tested for any great length of time!

I have an oval head so wear champion, CO would never fit me.

As far as I know Champion are a better for oval heads and CO for round heads!!!

Champion for my oval head.

Mine was too egg like for the HS1 - Felt like it was perched on top!!

I really want to suggest the one you were born with as the most likely to be a snug fit as a skull

Charles Owen skull caps dug in on my temples.

I tried on a HS1 and a Champion, wore them both round the shop for 15 mins or so each and both were comfy but the HS1 fitted the best.

I have an oval head - Champion etc are far too wide, only Charles Owen fit. I had the goldy coloured skul and that was a good fit

Thankyou all for the sugestions- seems like I have a lot of hats to try on in the new year
Son has a nice round head, anything you plonk on fits well...not bloody fair

champion for oval heads like my sister! I have a round heat and and I do not fit many hats oddly... I have a champion ventair padded at the front and back, the JTE fits me better but still lots of padding and I fell off quite bad in it so I don't wear it anymore, at the moment I am wearing a gatehouse skull with my pony's vet cotton wool stuffed in to the rim !!

Champion is regarded as being more suitable for round heads and CO for more oval but all models vary - I can wear about 3 CO models, though one or two get uncomfy over a long ride, but only one Champion - the Ventair is the first Champion that has gone anywhere near my long oval head.

Strange, I was told the complete opposite - CO for round heads, champions for oval heads as a general rule but obviously it is different for each person.
