ETA- I've never had anything but cheap troxels...I like the look of the expensive ones but they're all ASTM/SEI certified and all have to be replaced every few years. Why bother with a $300 one?

| fatchance - 2015-02-05 7:42 PM ThreeCorners - 2015-02-05 6:23 AM  Right on!! So glad to hear it. 
fatchance, you are 100% forgiven- alot of us have questioned Fallon's reasoning once in awhile, especially in regards to some shakey horse deals. But everyone has faults, we are human and can't escape it. I really applaud Fallon and her ability to stay positive through all the negativity slung at her the past years. I remember when I first saw her at a rodeo- she was so happy to just to be there, had a big hello and smile for everybody! I thought to myself, this is a girl who understands herself, forgives herself and shines like a light for the rest of us who have fallen a time or two in life. I just love her- she's definitely heavenly inspired! I'm so glad to see so many sending positive energy her way! |

Good to see she's being consistent! 
I'm also curious - isn't the world champion always on the top of this page? How come Fallon isn't?
Her and Troy lost their spots when Amberley was voted in to the American.
I personally would like to see them back after March. They earned those spots in my opinion.
Unless we lose another great person in the industry of course.
Did anyone read the article she wrote for BHN? I loved it. She seems very real about everything that's happened in her life.

Location: NE Texas | I have a Charles Owen helmet that doesn't have a bill....it's more like a jock's helmet. I wore it every time I rode last year until I nearly had a heat stroke one day. How do you all stay cool under your helmets? |

I wear a Tipperary, but it's not as hot up here. My barn requires them, which is probably a good thing. Lol |

I wear my Tipperary Sportage no matter how hot. And it doesn't make me any hotter than a ball cap. BUT...it's designed to give a lot of airflow.
You can get a bill to add on the front of any helmet...I think Cashel makes them. But the bill on the front of the Tipperary or Troxel is generally sufficient for most. I do wear sunscreen and the long sleeve sunscreen shirts. They actually keep me cooler than a t shirt and provide good protection.

Oh I sweat for sure, but I literally thought I was going to pass out it was so hot. I went and sat under my shade tree and took my helmet off to get so air and immediately felt better. I just feel like the heat can't escape with my helmet on and maybe something with a bit more ventilation might help a bit. I love my helmet and bought a good one when I bought one, but I sure would like it even more if it had a few more vents. This is what I have except mine is silver.

Location: North Dakota | I wear a helmet from the time I take the horse out of the pasture until the horse goes back in the pasture!! Its not only riding that you need one, horses can spook and knock you down also! I had a puke mare sling her head and hit me directlly in the forehead but I was wearing my helmet so it just hurt instead of knocking me out or worse!! From that day I never handle a horse without a helmet! It was just by chance that I already had it on the day she did that! I sent her down the road!! |

Location: Where I am happiest | This is the troxol. I really do like this turquise rose. Can someone explain to me what the differences are in the way the troxol vs tipperary fit's? http://www.chicksaddlery.com/page/CDS/PROD/3095/SH4279?utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopzilla%2Bdata%2Bfeed |

In my experience...the Troxels fit a round head shape better....the Tipperary fits an oval head better.
Both make some well ventilated and low profile designs. I wear the Tipperary Sportage as I have an oval noggin.

They all have a sizing chart I see on all their helmets.
