Choosing the correct size riding hat

Home -> Articles -> Riding hats choosing the correct size

The most important factor to consider when buying a riding hat for yourself or for your child is the size of the hat. A badly fitting hat could fall off or can be extremely uncomfortable if it is too tight. To measure your head for the correct hat size you should measure around the circumference of the head just above the ears.

The following table shows how this translates into riding hat sizes.
