Can anyone recommend a skull cap that fits like a OneK long oval helmet?
The One K model doesn’t have MIPS, otherwise I’d buy that.
thanks!

I’d also like a recommendation, I fit perfect in a CO GR8 but would love a skull cap option. Most seem to be round.
Champion ventair or Charles Owen 4 Star both fit my long oval head well.
I have a very oval head and the CO 4Star fits me really well. The CO MIPS Boyd Martin skull cap didn’t fit me at all (if that helps narrow down choices).
I forgot to mention the Back on Track Lynx skull cap is another good one for long oval heads, it’s MIPS certified but a bit lighter weight than the Champion or Charles Owen 4 star, both of which performed better in the Virgina Tech helmet study. I spent a lot of time in Kentucky last spring trying on helmets after I fell hard in my Champion ventair Revolve MIPS skull cap last Jan schooling. It performed well (no concussion, yay!) but they are expensive, especially in the US. I also tried the Arro but it felt rounder to me and a bit too much like a motorcycle helmet.
The MS1 Pro is designed for oval shaped heads. It was the closest comparable I could find to my beloved OneK (imissyou)
FWIW - i really wanted the Lynx, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t be comfortable in one. I have a very sensitive head, though.
I have the MS1 Pro and it fits my long oval head well.
Are these the same helmet? I see some ads that call it the MS1 Pro and others that call it the CO Boyd MS1 Pro.
I don’t really know. I just know the skull cap collab they did with Boyd didn’t fit me.
Weirdly, no. The Boyd helmet is made to fit round heads.
I got mine from the UK so I’m not sure. I know they have various “versions” of them depending on the BNR or equestrian influencer, so it theoretically could be the same.
Both the Boyd version and the standard MS1 come with “round fit” in a few sizes, I’m fairly certain they’re the exact same (the Boyd version is just navy blue with a cover & signature)
Yes looks like they do a Boyd, Esme and Harlow White version of the MS1 Pro, just with different trim.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Going to try a few out ASAP.
Oh! That makes more sense to my brain now.
Thanks for all the advice folks - I got a Charles Owen MS1 Pro for £160 in the UK and it fits great and is comfortable. Not exactly low profile but brain health tops vanity!
