Which hat to buy? . . .

i currently have the old style GPA, but its faded and abit big now so I want to buy a new one. But dont know which one! The choices are;-

The new old shape GPA (if that makes sense?!- same as what i have now.)

The new style GPA, but im not sure if i even like them tbh. Also did try one on, and people said it didnt suit me.

And lastly, the older style John Whitaker hat/ charles owen one thats as far as i can see the same?

It is going to be my competing hat, so will last me a long time, hence not too bothered if the hat is dear.

The speed air doesnt suit me apparently, and i am afraid i might look like a wasp in it!

I would go for the Charles Owen Wellington Classic or the JW! The GPA's are not anywhere near as safe... Billy Twomey had a horrendous fall in his and it smashed into many pieces - he was concussed for 40min! Just not worth the risk in my opinion! The Harry Hall is also cheap for a reason... made in the far east and not to British standards.
