Shunnnnn the unbeliever. Shunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Posts: 333 Group: Members Member #2,378 Joined: December 14, 2007	I'm helmet shopping and have narrowed my search down to the Charles Owen skull caps. They have two that seem nice, but I'm not sure if they fit differently, look a lot different when worn, or have a different ventilation system. Anyone have either that can help me out? P.S. I tried on the GR8. I felt the 7 1/4 fit, but the 7 1/8 was more snug....if the larger size stays the same that would be great, and if the smaller one gets more roomy it would also be good. Which size??

Which size?? Wow this is an old post, I am sorry I dont check the eventing forum more often, You probably already got one, but here is my 2 cents. I have the CO and I adore it. ITs about 5 years old now, and Its so comfy and secure fitting. I have tried others many in fact and when I replace it it will be with another!

This is the first time a helmet has actually fit my head properly. I feel much safer too! If anyone else sees this, I highly recommend Charles Owen helmets:)

Other helmets used to just feel like I dont know, uncomfortable This one feel right on my head, like it was made for me, and is going to do some good! Happy riding Mercury!
