Description
Turn your helmet into proper sun protection. Riding helmets do one job well — impact protection. Sun protection? Not so much. The Newcastle Hats Horse Riding Brim bridges that gap, adding real shade to your face, ears and neck without replacing your helmet or affecting fit.
It attaches using a simple but secure system — Velcro straps, peak pocket, and centre elastic — so it stays put while you ride, even with movement and wind. No bulk. No compromise. Just more coverage where you actually need it.
Best for:
• Horse riding and equestrian work
• Stable hands and outdoor animal care
• Long hours in exposed paddocks
• Trail riding and bush work
• Anyone wanting sun protection without ditching their helmet
If you already wear a helmet (you should), this is the missing piece.
