HELMET: BEST BRAND?

[EAMULE@aol.com]

Lynette,
 
Bicycle helmets don't cover enough area of the head.  Also, helmets for 
different sports are rated for the different activities.  The impact received 
from falling or being thrown from a horse would probably be greater than from 
a bicycle.  Plus, the altitude you started from with your fall would be 
higher from a horse.
  
If helmet shops are limited in your area use mail order such as Jeffers 
which is where I bought mine.  If it doesn't fit you can send it back.  
Jeffers is very good about returns.  (1-800-JEFFERS)  Jeffers usually has the 
best prices.
  
Other catalogs include State Line, Libertyville Saddle Shop.
 
Helmets are definitely worth the trouble.
