Having been out of the eventing loop for 7 years, I now realize that my Troxel schooling helmet is not only passe, but probably not the safest thing out there. Hopefully, I will soon be returning to riding and have been looking at the CO Pro Racing Skull Cap. When I first started eventing, I wore the old Caliente and then switched to the Troxel in later years. My one huge complaint with the Caliente was how hot it got, of course, I lived in FL then and now I live in WV. Anyway, does anybody here ride in the CO Skull Cap? I also looked at the CO J3, but it does not come in my size (7 5/8) - you know, more brains to cover :P

I had the Pro Racing skull cap. It does get very hot and stink. Well, at least mine did! :innocent: The J3 is not much cooler. One thing about the Pro Racing is that it gets so hot, the inside padding disintegrates. I had chunks of black foam fall in my eyes while riding. I always felt safe in it though because it fit well. Until the padding fell apart. Then, I threw it away.

Thank you, WFM, this is just the kind of information I wanted! I'm just a very hot natured person anyway and my old Caliente fried me - I mean I would take it off and my whole head would be soaked and it was stinky, too. Oh, well, I was hoping for new and improved skull cap, but now I guess I'll have to go to the Giant Bubble Head Look - and I already have a Jimmy Neutron head to begin with. Thanks again. Do you event? What helmet are you wearing now?

I love my Tipperary - the Troxels were heavy and did not breath in the summer. The Tipp is lighter, fits my head better, and is not so top heavy to me.

Umm, I have not sniffed it lately..... :o
