Which Hat? - Skull Caps

[kerrylou123]

Hi.
I need to replace my skull cap (dogs have eaten the inside of mine). I had a standard Charles Owen one, nothing special, just plain skull cap bought on a budget at the tail end of last year.
Although it was comfortable, and fitted well, it made my head sweat like nobody's business to the point where my hair was soaked....yuk!
This time round, I have a budget of about £100, so is there anything that you guys would reccommend?

Thank you in advance

Gatehouse HS1, very comfy, very high level of protection. doesn't fit all shapes of head though, apparently!

Champion ventair, for those whom the HS1 doesn't fit!

Yep - also Champion Ventair.

I fit a Charles Owen great but my head shape doesnt work in a Champion hat. I found the best jockey skull is the Charles Owen J3. Doesnt make my head sweat doing XC.

Yep Champion Ventair is absolutely fab, have had both the skull and peaked version and they are really great. Was on the verge of giving up riding due to getting really bad headaches when I rode for as little as 10 mins, and they cleared up when I bought this hat.
