New adjustable riding hat on the market
A new ventilated helmet which can be adjusted to the size of your head has been launched by the riding hat manufacturer Champion.
The Champion Air-Tech comes in just three sizes — small, medium and large — but each size can then me adjusted using a ring at the back of the helmet to ensure it fits properly.
“We thought about retailers’ desire to offer customers a helmet that gives a perfect fit, without adding a multitude of size options to their stock,” said a Champion spokesman.
Perforated steel grills allow a large flow of air through the helmet to help keep the rider’s head cool in all conditions.
“In making the new helmet, we worked to combine a stylish design with a high tech ventilation system,” the spokesman added.
Prices start at £89.
