Mounted search and rescue

Measure your head in accordance with the manufacturer’s size charts.  If you have a usual hat size it is probably the right size.

Troxels come with adjustment pads unlike many others.  Also, depending on the brand there may be a suspension adjustment.  It can be a

string through the webbing, a set of push throughs in the inside band or even a ratchet device like those used on hard hats. The shell should be

smooth and preferably a plastic surface.  You can use a cover for visibility or add reflective tape, helmet crescents, unit logos, etc. as required.

Irv and Chris (& anyone else that has input)

Thanks for the info.  We have very limited sources for riding goods here and
I hesitate buying via catalog since I can't try on anything.  I'll keep these tips
in mind and go shopping.

Thanks again!
Jonah
