It is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn...EVER! That isn't a very good pic. Sorry.

A person at my old barn worn one and she seemed to like it. I always thought it was more of a eventing helmet.

[Lindsayanne]

It's uh.... different. ;) What events would you wear it for?

I'm glad you found one that's comfortable!! That's the most important. I'm really picky too.

[horsiekisses]

I HAVE IT!! in hunter green- its more for eventers.. its really comfy. Just hard to fit a helmet cover over it! Its sweet :p

[HunterDreams]

For eventers I suppose they're fine. But I personally would never wear one. Yeepers, I'm soo traditional :P .

[Tasha]

I don't own one, but I ride in some clients occasionally and they are very comfy. What kind of helmet cover would you use though? It does have a bill but...almost no bill on it.

[Fortune]

Do you have any pics of the helmet? I've never heard of them before.

My friend has one....and personally i think they are ugly lol. I would never show in one of those for hunter or jumper...i guess they would be great for eventing.

[AidEE]

um...i have done some eventing( hunters mostly) , but i think they're really ugly. You wouldnt wear it for dressage or showjumping, and I think a GPA or skull cap is better for x-country, but thats just my opinion.

[sycho in the saddle]

they arent my fav. i think there kinda ugly...but hey maybe its really comfy and breathable!

[gloryrider]

Hmm. That defintly looks more like an eventing helmet than something the hunter/jumpers would wear. But it looks comfortable, and if you like it, that's what matters!

[JustJumpIt111]

Thats a.....different helmet :D
I prefer my gpa

[PeppiPoni]

OUt of all my helmets... I love my two Charles Owens GR8. In second is my GPA follwed by IRH. A kid at my old barn had one of those... im sorry but i think it is really ugly.... :o

[prairiewind816]

I borrowed one to wear one time, I don't know if it was the sportage line, but it was the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn!!!

[crazy4horses]

It doesn't really matter how the helmet looks, what matters is it's safe and comfortable. If you put a velvet cover over it, it will look just fine for hunters, jumpers, or dressage. The judge isn't going to take point off if you have a "ugly helmet".

[Kjump]

Although my taste is more traditional, I think these helmets look very light and comfortable. Many of you think it's mostly an eventing helmet, but I've seen them in the jumper ring more and more. :)
