Your Horse magazine were given a Troxel Spirit Plus helmet to test for Endurance Riding and gave it a rating of 10/10 for ventilation and rated it 9/10 for design, performance and value for money!
The tester, dressage rider Ginny Cook, commented "This hat looked modern and was so light I didn't know I was wearing it. There was an amazing range of adjustment by simply turning a small wheel at the back of the hat (this ratchets a plastic band around your head). The harness was also simple to fit. It kept my head cool and is still clean and sweat free. Great value."
