Am very confused. I have re-started riding lessons after a break of 9-10 years. I have 2 riding hats which i showed to the instructor at my first lesson. The instructor checked the standards and told me the hat with ASTM F1163 , BSEN 1384 1997 and a kitemark is NOT acceptable. The hat with the BSEN 1384 1997, PAS 015 1998 and the kitemark IS acceptable. Ironically the more comfortable hat is the one that isn't acceptable to the riding school
I have checked the BHS and BETA advice about hat standards but they don't seem to agree! According to BETA both my hats meet the current safety standards. Am I missing something here? Can someone explain it all to me in plain English. Thanks.
