IRH Horseback Riding Safety Ergonomic Washable Rear Side Ventilation Equestrian Equi-Pro Helmet

I wish I could say I love this helmet the way I do my Ovation Deluxe Schooler. Similar in weight (very light), similar ventilation, great color, and an upgrade to a leather-like vinyl over the ears instead of the all-nylon harness of the Ovation (though mine is a few years old now, and that seems to have changed in the current model). Neither helmet is ideal for my long oval head, but they get the job done, and the dial fit helps everything stay where it's supposed to.Unfortunately, even though the S/M IRH fits my head size, the IRH is much too deep and the helmet ends up sitting on my ears — which would drive me crazy in 0.5 seconds. So it's back to my Ovation for now. The Ovation is a smidge too shallow to be ideal (there's a little TOO much space above my ears), but I'd rather that than have my ears hurting.Bottom line: If you don't usually have a problem with riding helmets being too deep for your head, you might love this IRH. Otherwise, try the Ovation Deluxe Schooler.

Caution to buyers--be sure that Vir Ventures is not the seller for your helmet. Look at their seller reviews before purchasing! You may end up like me, with a lot of wasted time with a return attempt and absolutely no refund.Helmet itself--I liked the look of this helmet a lot. Matte navy is a nice color. The M/L fit my head well, except the part that goes over your ears was oddly low. I read this in a previous review, but was thinking I would just return the item if it did not fit well. This issue made the helmet very uncomfortable--with the heavy part resting right on top of my ears.

The helmet has a nice texture and feel. The item and color is exactly as described and pictured. It goes nice with blue riding gloves. It was easy to adjust to the head as well.

I ordered a small/medium and it was too small but I really liked the color and the way it looked so I ordered a medium/large and it's great. I like when you forget you're wearing a helmet when riding and this helmet is definitely good for that. It is also very easily adjustable so it can fit many sized heads. The blue color is pretty but subtle, which I like a lot.

Just receiver so our daughter has not ridden with it o. Received the helmet quickly and with a little adjustment it seems to fit well.

I was pretty impressed by the quality for the price. Not bad looking compared to most of the helmets in this price range either

Great buy for a basic helmet

after less than 3 months use the matte coating on this helmet is sticky and cracked. Looks terrible and everything sticks to it, dirt, hair, etc. It functions fine, but i do not recommend this helmet because of this.
