Rhinegold Odessa Dial To Fit Crystal Riding Hat
Description
Rhinegold Dial To Fit Odessa Riding Hat
The Rhinegold Odessa is a certified equestrian riding hat with a sparkling 'diamond' encrusted central panel, a lightweight carbon outer shell and a bespoke dial to fit adjuster at the rear. It is made for riders who want a decorative hat that still meets PAS 015:2011 and the EN1384:2023 British Kitemark, so it can be worn in riding schools and at affiliated competition.
Best for flatwork, lessons, showing and general hacking where a smart, sparkly finish is wanted alongside proper certification. The Coolmax removable lining and central ventilation make it a sensible choice for riders who overheat in solid, unvented hats.

How To Use
- Measure around the widest part of the head, just above the ears and eyebrows, to identify your shell size.
- Place the hat level on the head so the front rim sits roughly two finger widths above the eyebrows.
- Turn the rear dial until the hat feels firm and even all round, with no pressure points.
- Fasten and adjust the PU leather harness so the straps sit clear of the ears and the chin strap is snug.
- Check the fit by shaking your head gently; the hat should not rock forwards, backwards or side to side.
- After riding, lift out the Coolmax lining to air, and wipe the shell with a damp cloth.

FAQ
What safety standards does the Rhinegold Odessa meet?
It is certified to PAS 015:2011 and carries the EN1384:2023 British Kitemark.
Can I compete in this riding hat?
PAS 015:2011 is approved and actively preferred by the British Horse Society and The Pony Club, so the hat is suitable for riding schools and affiliated competition. Always check the current rules of your specific discipline and organising body before you compete.
How does the dial to fit system work?
A dial at the back of the hat tightens or loosens the internal cradle, letting you fine-tune the fit in seconds. It refines the fit within your shell size rather than replacing the need to choose the correct size.
Is the lining removable and washable?
The Coolmax lining is removable, so it can be taken out to air and freshen between rides. Allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
How do I know the hat fits correctly?
It should sit level, about two finger widths above the eyebrows, feel firm all round without pressure points, and stay still when you shake your head. Always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter.
When should a riding hat be replaced?
Replace after any impact, even if there is no visible damage, and if the shell, harness or internal padding shows signs of wear or deterioration.
