International Riding Helmets IRH IR4G Riding Helmet

I tried on so many helmets at a local tack store and none fit as good as this one. It comes down around your head and really stays on. It doesn't give you a big bulky mushroom look like the Charles Owen ones do. It's light and keeps my head well ventilated. It looks as stylish as the much more expensive Samshields. I bought the velvety looking version with a shiny vent and am very happy with it. After a friend saw mine, she bought the matte version with a matte vent, and she loves hers too.

My daughter loves her helmet. She wears this one in competition and has another for practice. They are a essential for safety while riding and why not look good also.

Wow, I love this helmet! Great features are a streamlined low profile appearance, secure fit, and a comfortable adjustable chin strap. I also love the snap out liner and that you get an extra liner included -- such a great idea! You can wash your liners regularly and never be without a clean one - no more stinky, sweaty helmet! I have tried on so many helmets in search for a great-fitting comfortable helmet -- various Charles Owens (looked too big on my head and felt too heavy), Samshield (looked like bowl on my head - weird fit), One K (too round for my head; and the oval / long version was too long), and some others. This was the winner. My head is between an oval and round shape and this fits great. It's a nice-looking, lightweight, well-priced, and safe helmet. And with TWO washable liners!

I ordered 11 different helmets (3 IRH, 5 Ovation and 3 Troxel) because I don't want to wear a helmet but I need to so I was determined to find a good: style and comfort/fit. I learned a lot about helmets and myself during this process. No helmets look good on me (I have a small face they all look like buckets on my head). That said.... padding, fit, vents and STRAPS make a big difference. I ultimately went with this helmet because it fit like a glove, the strap system is easy and it's not as bobble head as some others. Generally speaking, I liked all the IRH varieties but this one won because of the strap - the others were just too complex and after trying 15min (ea) to get the strap right, I gave up.

The logo on my helmet is off-center, and the ear straps aren't even on both sides. A little disappointing, but nothing I can't deal with. Other than that this helmet is really comfortable and looks nice.

Absolutely LOVE this helmet! I was trying to find a nicer helmet for schooling shows than my Ovation schooler (I loved this helmet, but wanted something fancier). I bought a Troxel ES helmet and it looked like an egg on my head. I returned it and I came across this IRH helmet shortly after. I fell in love at first sight because it looks like my dream Samshield helmet. I figured why not give it a try (I mean it is 1/4 the price of a Samshield)! Well it fits amazingly! Helmets always pinch my temples, but this one fits like a glove and absolutely no pinching. It's pretty low profile (at least compared to the Troxel). Plus, it comes with two liners so I use the 5mm for lessons and the 3mm for shows so that I can fit all my hair in the helmet. I cannot say enough good things about this. I literally smile every time I put it on because it looks amazing!
