You should also find a helmet that fits you perfectly. A loose or unfitted helmet is uncomfortable and it may fail to fulfill its purpose, which is to protect your head. If you are not sure about how you should buy the helmet, here are a few pointers to help you out:

In order to measure the correct size of your horse riding helmet, you would need to measure the circumference of your head. You can do that by placing measuring tape around 1 inch above your eyebrows. You can figure out the circumference of your head by the length of the tape used.

To find the perfect size, you would need to consult a helmet sizing chart. You would have to match your measurements to the appropriate size of helmet. For those, who have an 18 inch circumference, would need a size 6 helmet. On the other hand, those, with the 25 inch circumference, would require 7-3/4 size.

You need to find a reputed seller that deals in horseback riding equipments and accessories. You may be tempted to go for the helmets that cost less. However, such products may not be that great quality wise. That is why you must go for quality products.

5 Things to Remember while Buying Horse Riding Breeches

Buying horse riding breeches is not as easy as buying any other type of pants. One will have to remember a number of essential considerations while making their purchase.

Every sport has its own attire for a reason. There is a reason why players involved in foot ball, tennis, swimming etc gear up the way they do. Comfort and relevance are the main factors that help design garments for specific activities, and keeping this in mind, one can also justify the garments that are specifically suggested for riding. Breeches are the most important components of riding gear and more often than not, it makes all the difference in the quality of learning the activity, as compared with other varieties of pants like denims, the usual trousers, track pants or, anything else for that matter. However, choosing the right breeches is just as important. Considering a number of factors can help in selecting the perfect pair for the perfect rider.

Size: This is the most important factor that can contribute directly into making the garment comfortable or, uncomfortable or, outright ill fitted for the purpose. Too long, too short, too big or too tight, too scrunched up on the legs or, too high up around the waist or, too low and so on and so forth hamper the quality of the ride. So, if a certain someone makes a guess that size 30 breeches will be perfect for you don’t just send any odd person to get it. You must try and buy or, refer to the size charts offered in the websites and then decide your size carefully and meticulously.

Color: More often than not, horse riding breeches come in solid white and solid black, the former being more common. However, in the present days, one can avail these essential riding gears in many colors and prints, especially for little girls and boys who are in the process of commencing their riding lessons and need something to connect with. Participation in formal equestrian shows or, certain specific clubs usually prefer the conventional shades when it comes to breeches. So, it is imperative that the buyers assess their needs before purchasing.

Material: This is the part that riders should not get overwhelmed about because, breeches are usually made of the same material. Not many designers would take the risk of trying out uniqueness as far as material is concerned because the latter adds to the relevance of the breeches. Say for example, if you go on to make a pair of breeches out of smooth silk, the result will be an inevitable fall, especially when the rider is new. Quality of the materials makes a huge difference though, and thus, has to be thoroughly considered at the time of purchase.

Price: Horse riding clothing is usually pricey and the costs are directly proportional with quality. However, there are ways to go around the burdening price and avail the attire at reasonable expenses. Hunting for dirt cheap varieties on the other hand can lead to unpleasant experiences. 

Provider: This again is a critical matter to consider. Any and every provider who claims to offer the best is often not reliable. To avail good and quality options, it is necessary to approach none other than reputed and reliable providers who operate both online and offline to reach maximum enthusiasts.
