Charles Owen helmets

paso_lover · 09-24-2008, 08:01 AM

Anyone have one?? I just bought one off Ebay for HALF the price the local tack shop sells it for

. I tried on EVERY flippin helmet there and C/O was the ONLY one to fit my head

.

I like it and am hoping it will ease my anxieties when riding Tia since my fears are of getting hurt not the horse.

I just bought one, too! I love it. I had an IRH that cracked when I fell off of Opie, so I had to replace it. It fits great and is really comfortable!

I have one that I really like - I use my Troxel on my gymkhana horse, but the CO on the hunters - I bought mine because the gal I took a lesson from (still hoping to get more lessons when $$ allows) required something better than a Troxel. She suggested the CO over the GPA due to price - she said the quality and protection were similar, but prices were very different (by the way, this instructor I go to short-listed for the Olympics four years ago, so she's definitely knowledgable!)

I'm on my 2nd one and I LOVE IT!! Still have my first one too as an extra .

I got it for x-mas last year and spent all x-mas eve sitting on the floor slowly falling back to feel the cushion of it. (yeah, like I"m 9)

My trainer wore it once and she loved the way it fit around her head and had the extra cushion in it and still allows you not to sweat to death in it.
