forgive me - tried to search and couldn’t find a recent post
i used to ride in charles owen, now ride in one k for the MIPs …
i really want a samshield but can’t get past the fact that it doesn’t have MIPs
all this to ask - what are the most popular/commonly seen helmets in the hunters and eq right now?
The 3 you listed are the main ones I see, not that I pay very much attention to people’s helmets lol. But definitely CO, oneK, and Samshield. Samshield being the “classiest,” which doesn’t really matter anyway. My show helmet is a oneK which I love and my schooling helmet is a velvet CO which I like. My hair is so thick that I need two size lol- I don’t put my hair up when I ride at home.
Why do you want one? To be trendy? To make sure you fit in? Honestly the judge only cares that your helmet is properly fitted, chin strap tight, and it’s not too blingy. Your head is far more important than being on trend. I’d stick with the highest rated helmet but I’m older and risk averse.
Charles Owen has MIPS helmets.
You’ll mostly see Samshield, Kask, and CO in the rings as they are most popular, but stick around the show long enough and you’ll see all kinds of helmets.
Ehh… I see mostly Kask and Samshield. Maybe CO as a late third, but not too many OneK’s anymore.
Maybe I’m biased because my sister and I show in oneKs haha
