Ventilated hat recommendations

[SpaceMolly]

Hi, I am in real need of a ventilated hat that actually works! I would use it for everyday schooling and jumping. I have a charles owen adventura at the moment but it just doesn't keep my head cool enough. I get migranes and nearly fainted today and I'm sure it was because my head got too hot. Money isn't really an object but I do like them to look okish

Thanks in advance

Troxel...brilliant! Also has a lining that you can take out and wash if it gets at all sweaty.

I find my Champion ventair (not 100%thats its proper name!) really good!! I used to get a really sweaty head if i was working hard, but it now only gets a little sweaty. Plus it's the most comfy hat i have ever had. Once i have it on i don't take it off until i am leaving the yard!!
Can't rate it highly enough!

GPA was the coolest hat I have had, but isnt as comfy as my champion ventair which does a pretty good ventilation job too!!

Have a look at the Casco range - best hat I've ever had.

Ditto that - I have a Casco Arcus and it's fab. Extremely comfy and 200g and more ventilated than a GPA and you can drive a tractor over it (super strong material)

Only time I part with mine is when I have to do RC comps as apparently a European standard isn't good enough.....

I have a Charles Owen Adventura.

Keeps my head cool??

Love my GPA Extreme. Excellent. Very very comfy and lightweight. My heads never got hot in it and I suffer from a hot-head in other hats.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I am going to go and try some on today. I think I will end up with a GPA as Champions don't seem to fit my head!

Best I've tried is the Tipperary Sportage... as light as a feather, very well ventilated and the coolest hat I've ever worn. You don't even notice you're wearing it because it's so light - but all up to standard of course.

-SO comfortable

Mine looks like a cycling helmet - very good but ugly. Which not only works but looks vaguely like a normal hat???
