Charles Owen SP8 Plus Micro Suede Riding Hat (Navy)
Description
The SP8 Plus helmet provides sun protection with a specially designed brim to shade the entire face and upper neck.
The deep, wide brim provides an exceptionally flattering look along with its incredible coverage. The SP8 Plus is a more effective wide brim helmet as it dips down at the sides rather than looking like a polo helmet.
A low profile helmet featuring all the best technology of the Ayr8® Plus as well as the specially designed wider and deeper peak, the SP8 Plus shades the whole face and upper neck.
Front and rear ventilation slots combined with the ‘Free Fit’ system (a system that pairs the frontal air channel and Coolmax® mesh to increase cooling and evaporation of perspiration).
The GRpx® technology harness takes the superb fit to the next level. The helmet’s side panels are covered in microfibre suede or leather look in black or navy. Thermoregulation paint for the centre panel is available in silver, along with traditional black or navy.

How to measure your head
Using a soft fabric measuring tape, wrap it around the widest part of your head (over your hair)
It should follow a line about 3/4 inch above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.
Take the measurement in centimetres (cm) and repeat a couple of times for the most accurate sizing.
Unlike most other helmet brands which rely on adjustable or broad size ranges (small/medium/large), Charles Owen sizing is very specific because that ensures the safest and most comfortable fit.
Please see video above for a demo
Checking your Hat
A new helmet will break in as you wear it and mould to the shape of your head. It should fit like a new pair of boots: snug, with a firm and even pressure all the way around.
THINGS TO CHECK FOR
- A snug fit with even, firm pressure around the entire head.
- No specific pressure points or gaps.
- Helmet locks onto the back of the skull.
- Helmet sits level on the head, covering the forehead leaving about an inch above the eyebrows.
- With the harness unfastened, the helmet should not rock forwards nor backwards.
- The chinstrap should sit just under the chin and gently touch the bottom of the ear lobe, avoiding the throat.
