Troxel Spirit Horse Riding Helmet

I bought this to replace my crashed troxel liberty helmet and Im pretty pleased with the overall look and fit of this helmet. I feel like the coverage is a bit better than the liberty line.

The Troxel Spirit has a very uncomfortable "dial" adjustment in the back. It digs into the back of you head, especially with a ponytail. The Intrepid and Rebel have "SureFit™ Pro," which is sort of a sling that cups your head. I was skeptical at first, it doesn't really sound like is should work, but it totally does! At least 10x more comfortable than the dial, and you don't have to adjust it. It even has a ponytail port where the dial is on the Spirit. I feel like Troxel should discontinue the dial and use the vastly superior sling in all helmets. This "chin" strap on this helmet is also placed very far back, making it more of a throat strap that chokes you if you get it anywhere close to tight. Also, I think this is true of all Troxel helmets, but the chin strap is really excessively long. Nobody has that huge of a chin/throat! (Yes, you could cut it, but then you have to seal and possibly sew it.) I already had a Troxel Rebel I was very happy with, but I wanted the purple color. I'm definitely going to stick with the Rebel, clashing colors or not! (I haven't tried the Intrepid, but I believe it has the superior Rebel system.)

Found myself being dumped on a downhill slope stuck between a fence and a concrete wall. I was found unconscious face down in the dirt and taken to the nearest trauma center. Cat scan clear and not even a concussion, this helmet is a lifesaver! Will be purchasing again. Can’t beat the price and adjustable sizing.

I purchased this helmet as a schooling helmet back home, and it certainly fits the bill. I like that it is adjustable (although sometimes the strap is a little uncomfortable until I get it into the right place) and find it to be very breathable in the hot summer weather. Would recommend for a reasonably priced schooling helmet.
