Troxel Helmet will have on the market in June 2008 an SEI approved equestrian riding helmet in the style of a Western Riding Hat.  You can find photos of the product and additional information at the following web address:

Click on the Western menu bar above the Sierra Helmet photo or go to the Choose a Helmet - Quick Find at the bottom of the page and click on the menu where you will find the Western Hat Helmet listed.  The product consists of a premium wool felt cowboy hat fitting over an ultra-low profile helmet.  Troxel has the helmet priced at $119.95 and states it will be sold through tack shops.  

You may recall a survey I sent out in 2007 which made the rounds on the internet.  The response to the survey was overwhelming and in favor of production of a riding helmet which met the SEI safety standards and had the Western hat look.   It is my hope this had an impact in bringing this product to life.
