Gatehouse HS1 V Vented Jockey Skull Riding Hat

The Gatehouse HS1 V Vented Jockey Skull Riding Hat offers exactly the same high level of safety, being tested to the American Snell test criteria, the most demanding standard currently available to assess equestrian riding hats. The addition of the vents gives the rider the benefit of air circulation, aiding in keeping the head cool and features a soft four point padded harness with Aegis anti-bacterial lining for extra rider comfort. Suitable for all competition disciplines including cross country. The hat is provided with a smart padded storage bag.

When should to replace your riding hat
Any riding hat that has suffered an impact should always be replaced, but even with normal use the effectiveness of the protective materials will deteriorate over time. While professionals riding a number of horses every day and in all conditions should look at replacing safety headwear every 1 to 2 years, the leisure rider could extend this to every 3 to 5 years with good care and depending on how often they ride. Although they should make regular checks for signs of wear to the harness, lining and outer shell.
How to store your hat
Store in the original or protective packaging in a clean, dry cool area out of direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures such as those found in vehicles during hot weather.
Avoid exposure to solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives, paints, fly sprays etc., which can cause damage. For example, spraying your horse with fly repellent while wearing your riding hat, may affect the external finish.
