Helmet help....

JumpsxGlory · 10-23-2004, 12:55 PM

I need a new helmet just for schooling and I was wondering what you guys think of this one.... They have it at State Line Tack and I love the look! That and it's on sale! Here's the discription of the helmet from statelinetack.com and a picture of it. Tell me if it's a good choice!

Also, how do I know what size to get? I haven't gotten a new helmet in awhile....

Troxel Capriole
Lightweight and versatile. The velveteen Capriole can be worn as an all-purpose show helmet or for everyday riding. Soft and velvet-like in appearance, this rugged helmet has a bonded bottom shell for extra durability. Subtle vents allow air flow to keep the rider cool. Fully removable and washable patented Flip-Fold Fit System assures a proper fit. GPS retention system adds stability. Ponytail Port. 13.1 oz. Black. S(up to 67/8), M(7-71/4), L(71/4+). **ASTM F-1163-01/SEI Certified.

I was thinking about getting one like that

JumpsxGlory · 10-23-2004, 12:59 PM

Yeah. It sounds very durable and it has a good look for schooling. Wouldn't use it for showing though. I'll get a actual show helmet for showing. lol. Anyone else??

JumpsxGlory · 10-23-2004, 04:50 PM

thrghbrdrder · 10-23-2004, 05:02 PM

but isn't that helmet velvet?

AutumnAttic · 10-23-2004, 05:09 PM

jumps.. i think you should just buy a nice show helmet and put a cover on it so it doesnt get ruined while schooling, saves a lot of money
