Champion vs Cheap

Advantages: Stylish PAS & EN standards
Disadvantages: expensive has cheap look-a-likes

...hat and it was the champion ventair riding hat. This hat meets the EN1384 and the PAS 015 standards so this means it is classed as safe and you could wear it at riding schools etc. For £80-100 i wasn't overly impressed as i didnt think it was anything too special and didnt differ from my hat thats 1/2 the price! My hat is a 6 3/4 and the one i borrowed was a 6 7/8 but it was very very tight so if your going to purchase without trying i wouldnt! TRY ...
...apart from the champion it is nearly identical to my less than 1/2 price version. The only thing i did prefer about this hat over mine was the chin strap that was very cushioned and i really liked that. You can adjust the harness at the back of the hat as it is on a drawstring design so it does enable variations between riders. In my personal opinion it is overly priced and think you are paying for the name. I do have a champion jockey helmet so ...

Review of Champion Hats

Harry hall ladies faro boots great

Advantages: comfortable, stylish
Disadvantages: leaking water

These boots were my best leather riding boots so far. I bought the first pair 4 years ago in Devon and I they lasted me 3 years. I wear them about 4 times a week. They have a nice long leg, stay up and last very well. The tread is not very heavy, good in the stirrup but a bit slippery on wet grass. I had some problems with water leaking in, but it comes in at the back where the zip starts anyway. I recently bought a second pair. They are most comfortable ...

Review of Harry Hall Ladies Faro Boots

Just Chaps won me over. Come up like new every time.

Advantages: Great design and value. Best of all they wash in the machine - no oiling or scrubbing!
Disadvantages: NONE

...buy more pairs. The Just Chaps Summer Cool are ideal as I live in southern Spain. They have survived sweat, salt water (from the sea) and mud to come up like new every time I have chucked them in the washing machine. My legs don´t ´melt´ and as chaps they give the extra stability and protection you want in the saddle - especially if you ride in the bramble-filled countryside that I do! And my black and white ones are over 4 years old now and still ...

Review of Just Chaps Summer Cool

Just Chaps -STAND OUT AT THE DISCO!

Advantages: Wash up like new, hardwearing, FUN
Disadvantages: NONE

I purchased Just Chaps for riding having discovered their great value, design and quality. When I purchased their Road Riders for morning rides my daughter saw the chance of being unique at the night club and purchased these Hi-Vis Fluorescents. She wears them with high heeled boots (and little else hmmmm!) Between her, my husband and I we now have 7 pairs of Just Chaps. My first pair purchased 4 years ago still wash up ´almost´ like new despite ...

Review of Just Chaps Hi-Vis

harry hall dry riders disappointing to me

Advantages: not sure
Disadvantages: cumbersome, leaked, not sure grip

I don't know if I was unlucky, but my pair leaked at the knee after 3 uses. I found them very cumbersome to wear, I didn't really want to walk in them (I know they are for riding but once you are out in the wet you might as well catch your horse in them). They didn't really have the sure-grip which they advertised, the seat is quite hard, not rubbery as I expected. After four uses and £40 paid I am going to throw them out. From a supplier which has ...
