Mounted search and rescue

["IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN" <ilichten1@verizon.net>]

There are only two criteria for a helmet—is it compliant with the requisite standards (ASTM or British), and does it fit.  If it doesn’t comply it is not a helmet but a hat and if doesn’t fit it won’t protect and you won’t wear it either. Price really doesn’t matter if the helmet is compliant, I use Troxel EQ at around $50 each. I have an International which was given to me as a present but I don’t wear it for “work” because it is black felt outer surface and not very visible in poaching country.

Sounds like you have had a great deal of experience with helmets.  I am interested in your opinion.... which Brand and/or model do you find best?

Thanks,
