I don’t want to chance anything that could make it worse.

Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	This is not a new concept. A hat/helmet combo was introduced back in the early 2000s by Troxel. It was a flop so they discontinued it. They instead moved toward a hemlet cover designed to fit over an existing helmet. This is still availkable for sale today but is not advertised. Resistol is not the first to do this. But they are the first to get their concept on a rodeo athlete at a high level. Too bad it was a flop as well...

I've seen helmets that look like cowboy hats before but THIS looks like a cowboy hat with a black donut on top of it! It looks ridiculous!

I have a brown helmet and a brown felt hat but it's slightly too small for me.

Maine-iac Posts: 3334 Location: Got Lobsta?	I was on a 4 month waiting list when they first were introduced. The advertising photos made them look quite attractive and not so bulky. I got mine in, and let's just say that was a year ago in May and its still in the box. I look like Gizooo the Alien on Fred Flintstone for all you ol timers out there.
