[RC] Schooling Helmets - k s swigartChris Paus said: Look in the catalogs.. you'll see some brands label their low end helmets as "schooling." It means they provide safety for your head and meet ASTM requirements, but they don't have things such as removable or flexible visors and may not come in a lot of pretty colors. This is exactly the opposite of my own experience. Schooling helmets (and the other "low end" ones) come in a whole bunch of exotic colors with removable visors and velcro whatever....while show helmets pretty much come in black velvet (or sometimes brown or some other very muted shade) and the visor, while flexible, is built in. The only exception is the fairly new "titanium" helmets that have become the helmet of choice in the hunter/jumper show ring. While they are not black velvet, they come in one color, which is a rather muted gray. All of these show helmets are significantly more expensive than the festively colored shooling ones. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
