Description
Rhinegold R20 Vented Jockey Skull Riding Hat
The Rhinegold R20 is a vented jockey skull riding hat certified to PAS 015:2011 with the BSI Kitemark and to EN1384:2023, finished in textured matt black with piped trim. It is built for riders who want a traditional skull shape for cross-country, racing and everyday schooling, with four chrome air vents and a washable Coolmax liner for comfort in warm weather.

How to Use
- Have the hat fitted by a trained hat fitter, who will check shell shape, depth and stability before you buy.
- Adjust the rear lace-up system so the shell sits level and snug, with the front edge just above the eyebrows.
- Fasten the HS1 harness so it is firm under the jaw with room for one finger.
- Add a hat silk over the shell where your discipline or competition rules require one.
- Remove the liner after heavy use and machine wash at 40°C, then dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and store the hat somewhere cool and dry.

FAQ
Which safety standards does the Rhinegold R20 skull meet?
It is certified to PAS 015:2011 with the BSI Kitemark and to EN1384:2023.
Do I need a hat silk with a jockey skull?
A skull is designed to be worn with a silk over the shell, and most disciplines require one in competition. Check your governing body's current rules for colour and style.
Is it suitable for cross-country and racing?
Yes. The R20 has a classic cross-country and racing skull shape and is described as suitable for multi-discipline use, including schooling and general riding.
Can the liner be washed?
Yes. The internal Coolmax liner is removable and machine washable at 40°C. Allow it to dry naturally rather than on a radiator.
How should the hat fit?
Always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter. The shell should sit level and snug with no rocking, and the rear lace-up adjustment lets you fine-tune the fit around your head shape.
When should I replace it?
Replace after any impact, even if there is no visible damage to the shell, and if the hat no longer fits securely.
