Re: [RC] [RC] Helmet Help from the gals please? - Raven

Does anyone ever ride in a bicycle helmet or have a helmet that is much 
higher up in the back?

Bike helmets are not rated for horseback riding. Your noggin will not
be safe in a bike helmet while riding a horse.  BTW...you want a
riding helmet that protect the lower part of your head...that is why
most riding helmets are cut low in the back. I think most falls from a
horse ....are backward falls...so you need that area of your head
protected.

I'm finding myself not wearing my helmet on everyday rides because it's too 
uncomfortable.  Not a good thing

Sorry to hear this. I rather cut my hair off than not wear a helmet.
Have you tried different size helmets ...ones that adjust in the back?
 Good luck!
