Previous Feedback
Comments: I bought the Resistol Hat Helmet to replace my riding helmet with sun-brim contraption because I needed a reliable solution to keeping the sun off my head but still protect my brain. I ride in the far south end of California right across the border and only a couple of miles in from the ocean. We have a lot of breezy and windy days here. I was a little hesitant to get a western hat. I'm not a cowgirl, I ride English and now mostly trails. Well, I have to say I'm much calmer and so is my horse since I no longer worry about my sun-brim blowing off. My Resistol helmet is secure and my head is cool, even with the pricier black hat helmet.

Comments: I have been using this helmet for several years since switching to western. Wearing my English riding hat seemed wrong. I often get looks of disdain as people think I'm not wearing a helmet and occasionally get asked about the certification. I would never ride without a helmet and think it's silly that western riders often do because (insert statement about tradition). This helmet is the perfect compromise. It's my hope that this will catch on and more western riders will start taking head injury more seriously. Just get one and protect your noodle.
