How do you all feel about this:

The GR8 hat (As worn by Sophie Broome, Pony European Team Gold medalist and individual Bronze, and Natasha Sewell. Also Anne Kursinski, USA) from Charles Owen is at the cutting edge of Equestrian Fashion. The low profile helmet is covered with a microfibre suede material and is available in a variety of colours and colour combinations. There is a combination to suit all skin and hair colourings - and wardrobes. The ultimate in accessorising for the fashion conscious rider.

The surface material has been treated to afford it protection against marking and scuffing. A water repellent cover will also be available for winter wear.

The brim is gently rounded to flatter the face, and a press stamped metallic logo is positioned centrally above the peak. Another embroidered logo features on the back of the helmet where a ribbon would traditionally be.

The Harness is co-ordinated to the specific colours within the range to give a complete finished look and reinforced with nylon for additional strength, safety and security. The supersoft headband inside the hat is grey to tone in with the soft colour options that are available.

Funny, it doesnt have a price on the site! LOL!

So what do you think. I'm thinking I want one but which do you think is better- the gr8 or a GPA?

I have a Charles Owen Hampton helmet. I love it, but I am not so fond of this here model.

in my pony club you are not alloud to wear the hats with the strips up them, as once my friend was doing some showjumping and she fell off (this was at PC) and fell on the brim of the hat and the strip shattered and the whole hat fell apart. so i would be careful....(although i probably think this is an update) and i do have one and i wear it for showjumping! lol
mine was £200 which i believe is about $300??? they are very expensive....but hey they look good! lol
