ferarrieyes25 from Hopkins,MN

Love this helmet!!! It is light weight, fits great, and sleek looking to boot! I have gotten many compliments on it in the show ring! The venting keeps your head a lot cooler in the summer, I cannot say the same about my troxel helmets! All in all a great helmet!

Awesome helmet!, 8/21/2011

Skippers from NC

So my beloved, old, old Troxel Spirit helmet got too small and needed to be replaced. I tried one of the new Troxel Spirits with the GPS dial system, and hated it. The dial system dug into my head, and the shape of the helmets had changed since I bought my first one. I did a lot of research, and was slightly afraid to bite the bullet and purchase a brand I'd never had before, online, sight and fit unseen. My head is big, so the large was perfect, and the fit is amazing! A bit of tweaking with the pads, and I will not ride with any other helmet. This helmet fits my very oval shaped head perfectly. I love the look and the feel of it--so lightweight! I forget I have it on when riding 'my' frisky bucker over the jumps:-) Great, lightweight, wonderful for oval shaped heads! A+ in my book, Tipperary!

IN LOVE!, 7/7/2011

Rachel from St. Paul MN

After reading all the excellent reviews, I had to try out this helmet. It blows the socks off of my Troxel Spirit (aptly named "the Lightbulb" by my riding buddies). This helmet is fantastically cool, sleek and DEFINITELY more comfortable than my spirit. I love the amount of venting there is. I love how the back of my head is truly protected, and I LOVE the customizable insert padding! SO worth $60, will never go back to anything else!

Tested out my new helmet today..., 4/18/2011

Letitia from Edmonds WA

my head bounced nicely, and was protected well! Thank you. Seriously, when I fell today, my new helmet cushioned me nicely when my head bounced. It runs a little snug, but that's ok when you crash and burn.

Great Helmet, 2/17/2011

Shannon from Toledo OH

Yesterday my mare gave me a BAD buck and put me head first through a wall in our indoor. I remained alert and aware of everything for the whole time. I've had many helmets in the past, and this one is the most attractive, comfortable thing in the world. One reason why I switched was the fact that you can have a tiny bit higher of a pony tail on your head than most helmets.

Helmet, 2/12/2011

Ava's Mom from Beeswax Not Yours Inc.

Wow, at first I didn't that this helmet was going to fit my head, knowing how big the Troxel's are. But WOW, this has to be my favorite, it is wonderful and snugly hugs my head perfectly. A long time wait pays off.

this helmet is awsome!, 1/13/2011

AMAZING HELMET from California

I was iffy about purchasing this but I'm glad I did. I have to say this is the most confortable helmet I have ever worn. It feels like you have nothing on your head and I accidentally dropped it onto hard tile, but not a scratch was left. I am very happy with the fit, style, and high rated safety of this product. Iwill never go back to a Troxel they just do'nt fit. Over all, this is an awsome helmet.

Saved my Head, 12/18/2010

Tipperary Sportage helmet from El Cajon,ca

Comfy Helmet!, 12/11/2010

Sydney from Ohio

I am NEVER going back to Troxel!! EVER! This is the coolest, lightest helmet I've ever used. It's also the most comfortable. I like how low it goes in the back and the low profile. I have it in Navy and love it. No whiplash from falls like I used to get from the heavy Troxels! The straps also aren't irritating on this helmet like they've been on others. I wish Tipperary made show helmets!

KMax from Clayton, NC

I have always had other brands of helments but really liked the style of this helment. I received this helment in 2 days and love the style, fit and the color. It is so light and more low profile type helmet and so comfortable. Would recommend this product to every rider.

Desiree from

I just got this helmet from my local tack shop. It was the only one that fit perfectly from the box, and it didn't look like it was perched way up on the top of my head like a bubble. It feels like it was made to fit! Love it!

Jenny from

I just bought a troxel helmet and hated it! The fit was terrible and it was far from low profile like they stated it was. I went to Jakes Place and tried on other helmets and found the tipperary sportage to be soooo amazingly comfortable. I have mailed back my troxel and will never go back. Great helmet and it has a great fit!

Rhonda H from

I always wear a helmet after one saved my life in a bad riding accident. I have worn Troxel helmets, but hated the look & feel of the new designs. After getting the Tipperary helmet, I'll never wear anything else. It's very cool and comfortable!! And no mushroom head!!!

P Strupp from

I wear this helmet on distance rides & trail rides & in the arena. It's the lightest and coolest helmet I own. I like it much better than all the other's I've tried. The compact profile looks good, too.

The BEST helmet you could ever find!!!!!!, 3/21/2010

Morgan from

I got this helmet last year. Ever since i started wearing it, i cant go back to those old Troxel ones. It is so comfortable, lots of air flow, fits like a glove, and my favorite part is the back of your head/upper neck protection. Not one thing can be spoken about this helmet unless it is AWESOME!!! There is not one thing wrong with this AWESOME improvement on these helmets compared to the troxel, and other brands. This helmet will for surely save your life!!!! I reccomend this helmet to anyone.
