I have used all of the three, International, Troxel and Aegis. My original International I cracked up about a year ago falling off and I don't like the new style of Internationals. I used a Troxel, but don't care for the fit, kept sliding over my eyes. Then I found my Aegis at State Line Tack. Oh wow! I love that helmet! Very nice fit and it is very adjustable! Yippeee! Very affordable, as well. I think I paid $45 for it including tax in Michigan.
What have you used and why do you like/dislike them?

i like the international ATH helmets. They are strong and lightweight.

i find that internationals fit me best out of any helmet (i'm very very hard to fit) but if I could fit anything, i would have a gpa.

I loooove my GPA. I think safety wise they're the best and they're very comfy and keeps me a lot cooler in the summer

I wear a black velvet hunting cap, with a satin yellow lining inside, sooo comfy. I love my hunt cap

I can´t give you an answer... I´ve never heard of one of these.
Here the most popular ones (I guess so) are Casco which to me look like a helmet for biking

I´ve got one of these old fashionet ones with black velvet on it

I voted Other. My fave is Charles Owen, and it's the only one that looks good on me from a side view. All the troxels I've tried on looked hideous. Some internationals suit me but the ATH looks dumb too (sigh), never tried the GPA. I have an unapproved helmet and I think that suits me the best out of all the ones I've worn but it's sooo thin, not safe at all. You know which helmet I think looks absolutely retarded....that new Tipperary eventer one thats shaped funny....man that thing is ugly!
