IRH INTERNATIONAL RIDING HELMETS Medalist Velveteen Black, Size 6.875

Fantastic looking hat. People have written that it gave them a; "Mushroom head look", I totally disagree, this is a very slimline hat compared to others with the same safety standards and padding. My ownly complaint are the vents are not very effective as the lining covers them. The straps are adjustable and shim paads are provided for a perfect fit.The fitting instructions are exact. This is a fantastic hat for the very decent price. I highly recommend it if you are looking for an old school British style with a modern safety compliance.

I’m an old school, audiotape amateur and I prefer the look of the velvet helmets of my youth. This helmets is very comfortable and you really can’t beat the value for the money.

It's a great helmet, even more considering the price. I was worried it would be too bulky, but it is just normal, light but robust and perfectly functional. I am looking forward to seeing how the ventilation will perform during the summer. I am riding and also using it to train for polo.NOTE: The size I had originally ordered fit a bit big, the next smaller size was not available in black, so I ordered the charcoal but there are actually no differences between the two colors. Happy with the purchase and with the customer services re: the exchange.

Nice helmet. I haven't rode in it yet, but I will most likely not be keeping it. It is looks so bulky on me and unflattering. I ordered this helmet because I needed one ASAP for a parade I will be riding in this week. Only reason I am keeping to right now, however will be getting rid of it afterwards and will be looking for a different helmet. It is a very nice helmet, nice velveteen on it and nice look to its self It's just not what I was wanting sadly.
