Location: Mississippi | My husband and I ride in Troxels. Very comfortable, but miine seems bulky to me. I wanted to try on different helmets to find one I liked at the Equine Expo at Dixie Nationals this year. I was very disappointed that there were no helmet dealers there. |

Location: Four Corners Colorado | Is there any BB near a big tack store who would go try on all the helmets and model them for us? So we can see how they all look and fit? |

That would be great! A side-by-side comparison would help tremendously to see which ones look less bulky! |

I think this is a great idea! |

| I have a troxel intrepid in carbon color, and I love it. I usually hate helmets, but I found this one a few years ago when it first came out and was like, yes. It's a nice color that is classy, but not flashy, plus it is very lightweight and it doesn't sit in your eyes like most troxels do. It stays out of my way, and is pretty sturdy. |

Usually if you google the helmet name and select images it shows some pictures of the helmet being worn. Some will even have real people instead of just the models. Lol |

Question on the ovation helmets...do you feel like they have a low(er) profile?
I think so. I just tried on several helmets and the Ovation fit so much better. It is light and very comfortable. I ended up buying one on Ebay for $39.00 I was very impressed. I don't know which Troxel I tried on but I didn't like it at all.

| Troxel Rebel! Most comfortable helmet I've ever worn! I believe they are somewhat new, but are getting popular. I am forced to ride in a helmet for 4h and always hated wearing those nasty things, that gave me a headache after 5 minuets, upgraded to a Troxel Rebel and Its like memory foam on your noggin it feels amazing, Now I don't even complain! Accept when it messes up my hair! Lol |

| I have a Troxel Cheyenne, I'm wearing it in my profile pic. It was around $120. It is adjusted with two plastic sliding harness straps that click into place to give a custom fit and is one of the most comfortable helmets I've been able to find. Plus it's black n pink :)
I can't say I haven't been tempted by Fallon's new leopard print ones, but I'm not ready to give mine up just yet... |

I like yours! I think it looks like it has a low profile on in comparison to your head. |

Location: Mississippi | I ride in a Tipperary Sportage and love it. I guess I got lucky because that's just what I happened to order when I first decided to start wearing a helmet and it fit great. I ordered a Troxel because I saw one on clearance and figured it'd be good to have as a backup and I hate it. I think like others said it depends on the shape of your head. My Sportage looks low profile on me whereas the Troxel feels like I'm wearing a bucket. I am still about he only helmet wearer in my area - I'm used to it now but would like to see others doing the same - especially the small kiddos. |

I wish my Tipperary worked for me!!! I look like a turtle in it! Lol!!!
I'm also the only helmet wearer save for one older lady. And she usually goes to arenas I don't hit much. So I'm generally the only one riding around with my 'thinking cap' on! ??
My daughter is still a baby but once she starts riding she WILL wear a helmet I don't care how much she hates me lol! If she wants to run, she will protect that noggin! ;) |
