Heidi from LaGrange, KY
Before purchasing this helmet, I had owned
Troxels and Lami-Cells for several years, and at different times ridden in Tipperary, IRH, and Charles Owen. Ovation Protege is far and away the most comfortable, lightest, and all around best helmet I have used. It settles comfortable on my head thanks to the dial system, protects the back of your neck, and looks great. It would be suitable to wear in a schooling show. My only complaint is that the back of the helmet is covered with some kind of felt fabric, which would seem to get dusty easily- thankfully Ovation includes a drawstring helmet bag which I always use. I only wish I had waited to get the beautiful purple -my eventing color- instead of the dark blue!

I have had Troxel helmets, they were just OK, and Tipperary which were better. I was anxious to try this one looking for a cooler helmet when it is hot but the largest available doen't fit my normal sized head. A larger size is made but State Line doesn't carry it and didn't offer to special order. I get that most of their customer base is women usually requiring smaller sizes. It makes it challenging for guys though

Got this helmet for Christmas. Really nice look-not at all bulky or "plasticy". really comfortable fit as well-almost forget helmet is on! Would definitely recommend for schooling, trail riding, or anyone looking for a great helmet at a great price

I bought two of these for my daughters, and they work great. I had bought a Troxel for myself, and it gave me a headache and it was way to round for my liking. I just bought one of these for myself. The sporty design helped make it easier to get my girls to wear them during competitions when no one else wears helemts. The venting was also important, since we live in a hot climate. I looked around and I think this helmet has the most vents.

This helmet is comfortable, light and perfect for me! I have a really small head and the XS/S dials small enough for me. I liked the looks of the Troxel Sierra helmet but when I tried it on in the store it was too round for my head. This Ovation Protege is the right shape for my head. My horse thinks her Western rider is smart to wear a helmet.

I normally wear a large helmet. The largest option on this helmet is "M/L" and is supposedly good up through size 7-1/2. It isn't. I have no hope of wearing this thing. On the box it says "7- 7 1/8"

love how this looks, especially for the price. It's also very light & well-ventilated. It is DEFINITELY for an oval-shaped head, though, and mine is very round. It's only a little uncomfortable now but as the front padding wears out, it'll be time for something new.

i have been riding for a long time and have tried/gone through many different helmets but this one is the best! it looks good for both western and english showing, schooling, or anything else! i got a white one from a different source but of the same brand. these make helmets look cool and they dont press the back of your head or are as hot as tipperary!

This is the best fitting and coolest helmet I have every tried. It fits great no more bobble head. I ordered one black & green the chin strap is soft and has a cushion. It is so light you will forget you have it on, even in the heat. You can't go wrong with this one, plus you can't beat the price fits better then tippary and is much cooler and better colors. Looks great on guys & gals it also comes with a cover. 5***** for sure.

Great looking, very light, great price. But, comes in m/l instead of medium and large sizes. Also, is made for an oval head, not mine. Will send back.

I purchased two of these helmets for my boys, ages 5 & 7. I got the xsmall for my younger boy. they both fit so nice, are comfortable, and light! They are easy to adjust and stay snug so they don't fall over their eyes. I also like how stylish they look. We got the blue, which almost looks black, and the graphite which looks gray.
Would absolutely recommend them!

I am looking to buy a new helmet and this one looks pretty good to me! I used to have a troxel helmet but I quickley grew out of it and it started to hurt my head. I am 11 so what size should I get? thanks!

So glad I choose this model, my Troxel was a good helmet but I always hated how big it was. This one is sleek and very, very light. I choose the graphite color. It fits very snug and comfortable, appears to be well made, has a removable liner and has lots of ventilation which will be great for the warm months ahead.

I got this helmet today, and I am blown away by how beautiiful this helmet is! It is super light weight and very elegant. The inside has the memory foam-type cusions that amazing. I'm not really worried about hurting my head in a fall anymore because of this helmet. My troxel was so ugly and bubble-like! Another stunning product!

FITS WAY BETTER THAN MY TROXEL AND THE FIT ADJUSTMENT IS SO EASY! SLIMMER DESIGN COMPARED TO TROXEL BUT STILL MEETS ALL SAFETY STANDARDS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
