Confused on how to properly fit a helmet? Our friends from Charles Owen stopped by SmartPak to give us a quick demonstration on how to measure your head and test a helmet for fit.

SmartPak Equine was founded by riders and horse owners for riders and horse owners. We ride and show Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, Polo, Equitation, Eventing, and Reining. We’ve logged many miles trail riding through New England’s rolling hills and the tough shrubs of Chaparral country. Our extended families include Hanoverians, Oldenburgs, Quarter Horses, Selle Français, Thoroughbreds, Lipizzans, Trakehners, Arabs, Morgans and Appaloosas. Horses, horse care and horsemanship are our passion. We got our start in 1999, with the purpose of simplifying the administration of nutritional supplements and medications to horses. Our patented SmartPak™ supplement feeding system has been adopted by thousands of barns and horse owners across the country, who value knowing that their supplements will be fed correctly. The SmartPak system has been embraced by riders from all disciplines and all levels, including many Olympic medalists. In addition to the SmartPak supplement system, we offer a broad line of horse health, show apparel, tack, dog supplies, and equine and canine pharmacy items sold through our catalogs and here on our website.
I would love to see more video on helmet fitting. I loved this one but felt like it wasn’t enough and could have talked more about hair and fitting it with a ponytail! Thanks a million for all the videos you have made. They are very informative and super enjoyable!!! I love the funny ones! Great job! Keep up the good work!!
Like the previous poster, I feel like another video on more proper fitting considerations would be VERY helpful.
How much forward tipping of the brim is acceptable? Sould it be tipped slightly backward for more brain/spinal cord protection? How high off the face? Etc.
Do LOVE the quality of experts and wish the videos were more in-depth.
Thanks for ALL the additional info you provide via digital means.
Hi Donna, thanks so much for sharing your feedback! I’ll be sure to pass it along to our team for future consideration. In the meantime, feel free to check out this blog for more information on helmet fitting, too: http://blog.smartpakequine.com/2018/02/does-your-helmet-actually-fit/.
