TIPPERARY EQUESTRIAN Unisex Sportage Ventilated Padded Horse Riding Helmet

Sooo much more comfortable than the Ovation helmet I was using before! The Ovation's dial tightening system always felt like it was digging into the back of my skull, and I felt like if I was in a bad fall it could actually do some damage because of where it sat at the base of my skull.I bought the Tipperary based on recommendations at the Chronicle of the Horse forums, and I'm glad I did. It's much more comfortable and it feels like it properly cradles and protects my skull instead of creating pressure points. I like that it covers the occipital bone, and so far it feels like it has good airflow and stays cool (we've only gotten up to the low 90s here in upstate NY though; we'll see what I think after moving to TX this summer lol).All in all, well worth the money in my opinion.

I am so thrilled with this helmet. Soon I'll be riding in 100 degree weather and this will keep me cooler better than any other helmet available. I forget that I'm wearing it - no pressure points at all. Love the price. I would have paid more than twice as much if I needed to in order to find a comfortable helmet that would allow my head to breaths in hot weather. Fortunately I didn't have to!

I have a sportage that needed to be replaced so I ordered the same model and size. It was too small. I went to a tack store and tried the Sportage on there and found I now need a large! I would recommend that you try them on before you order. Their sizing has changed quite a bit. That said the Sportage is a great helmet.

This helmet fits perfectly, doesn't make me look like a total dork, and BREATHES! My noggin is no longer so hot I can barely stand it, and I often forget that I have it on because it is so comfortable for me.

Great looking helmet. Fits well. Like the lower profile and the additional coverage for the back of the head.

You can't go past a Tipperary helmet. Great quality, great price and comfortable to wear even on long trail rides.

I got tired of using my riding stables helmets and fighting them for my whole ride so I bought my own. It was so comfortable, I forgot I was wearing it!

Like the fit and comfort
