What's brands seem to fit an oval shaped head, and what brands seem to fit a round head better? Also, how to you figure what your head shape is like? I think mine is more oval because it's hard for me to find a cowboy hat that doesn't make the front of my head red and still staying on. I currently have an Ovation which works nicely but I'm looking at buying another that's more low profile.

I think the best thing to do is to go and try on as many options as you can. I know that can be tough for folks in some areas.
I wear a long oval cowboy hat...and I wear a Troxel intrepid helmet which most folks say is for a more round head. Both are very comfy for me, I don’t usually even take my helmet off while I’m unsaddling one and saddling the next horse. I had a Tipperary Sportage and it hurt my head terribly.
I also personally keep mine subdued and affordable. In the event that I do take a spill, I do not want the fact that the helmet cost over $100 to even cross my mind as a reason not to go replace it immediately.
personally non of them i would only wear a calente which is no longer available but if i was riding only what the jock ride in yes expensive but i had 1 step on my head the print was on cover hement fine so was i and this was coming out of gate at brush tract
?they are comfortable i wore mine for hrs at track 5 to 8 hrs at a time never off as it was not allowed on track.
