The best riding hats usually come at a price, so once you’ve chosen the one for you it’s wise to store it in one of the best riding hat bags to keep it safe from damage. Hat bags are a smart addition to any rider’s travelling kit, but also handy to have around the yard, which makes them a great gift for a horse rider – or treat for yourself. Many also have coordinating riding boot bags, bridle bags, jacket bags and grooming kit bags.
Some helmet bags are simple in design, while others have multiple features, including internal and external pockets, handles and studs to protect the base. End-to-end zips allow you to get even the most decorated helmets of all sizes in and out safely, while pockets make handy stores for small accessories, such as riding gloves or spurs.
All riding hat bags come in one size, so no matter whether you have a velvet showing hat, adjustable riding hat or a children’s riding hat, any of these hat bags will be suitable.
