I have just purchased the F1 Gatehouse riding hat for my BSJA show jumping competitions. I have a very small head and really struggle to find riding hats that fit me and don't look enormous on my head. I cannot wear champion riding hats for this reason, but have found that the gatehouse riding hat range all seem to fit my small head well. My favourite two are the F1 riding hat range and the limited edition silver skull caps.
I have the black and silver F1 riding hat, but they have just brought out a new range with diamontes surrounding the front air vent. They also sell the F1 riding hats with the air vents in black. All gatehouse riding hats come with their own branded hat bags.
The F1 Gatehouse riding hats are £ at TicTac Equestrian or Equestrian Discounts and the Special Edition Silver Skull Caps are £ at TicTac Equestrian or Equestrian Discounts.

Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull
The Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull is by far the best that I have ever worn. It fits wonderfully and the design is exceptional. The skin coloured straps are very soft leather and look really good. I also love the way that the hat fastens and the shape. I wear mine with a black or navy hat silk and it really looks good with the silver showing at the front. The hat complies with extra safety regulations to normal hats meaning that your head is definitely protected! It was expensive but worth the extra money for the silver one as it looks good!!
I bought the Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull to ensure I had the highest standard of protection while eventing my horses. Fortunately it hasn't been tested in a fall but I have watched the safety demonstrations on YouTube and it has put my mind at ease. I'm pretty impressed with how comfortable the hat is, the harness is exceptionally soft, the fastening clip is easy to use, and I feel it looks rather smart when fitted with a velvet cover. I have been a little disappointed that the nylon chin strap seems to work loose over time and needed re-adjusting each time I mounted up to ensure the hat remained secure. It can even work loose while out on a long hack, so I have put a small stitch through it to ensure it remains firm. Even with this minor irritating issue, I will buy another Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull when my current one needs replacing, as I feel safe and secure knowing my head is well protected. This product can be purchased from Tic Tac Equestrain for only £98.99.
