How old is it? Has it been dropped\/been fallen on? Is it up to the standard needed for competition? Does it still fit nicely?<\/p><p>If you need a new hat, this is another time a trip to a shop, with a great range of hats and people BETA trained to fit hats is a good idea. Although you might know what size you are, some people fit particular makes of hat a better fit than others, and being uncomfortable in your riding hat will could leave you in discomfort, which is certainly not the idea. The same applies with body protectors. When these fit correctly, they can help to reduce the severity of an injury with no discomfort during day to day riding. If they are ill-fitting, you\u2019re less likely to wear them if you don\u2019t have to, and will hate every moment when you do.
