Which hat?

[angela_l_b]

As I am fed up with the horrible hot hat hair I get riding in the morning before work (and the funny looks I get in the office when one side of my hair is squashed and the other side wild) I have decided I really, really need a nice new lightweight vented hat. Any ideas on which ones are the best? I have been looking at Troxel, does anyone know if they are any good? Not too expensive as it's only for messing about at home.

Thank you very much! xx

I love mine,,,, but it was quite exspensive, cheaper from Surrey Equestrian though.

I had a Troxel hat as well it was ok actually and did keep my head cool... just reminded me of a cycle helmet. Its very very light.... I think the designs are a bit better now.

I had a Troxel - it was great in the summer as it really did help keep my head cool

. It had to go in the bin after it got dropped on concrete and cracked it

....would have another though - except OH at time was trying to get in my good books and bought me a Champion.....

I had a Troxel helmet...loved it, it kept my head cool all the time, was light and comfy, was a lovely shade of pink etc etc...until I fell off at the weekend and bashed my head on the ground, and the hat actually rotated and banged against my head (I had checked it was tight 5 mins earlier), so I wasn't very impressed with that.

I have just replaced it with a Champion Ventair, and although my head wasn't anywhere near as cool as it was in the Troxel, it did keep it cooler than I expected.
