__GARLAND, TEXAS – For more than 80 years, the team at Resistol has been dedicated to preserving the heritage and lifestyle of the great American cowboy. Today, with the growth of competitive horse-related sports and therapeutic riding activities, there is heightened demand for safety. In an effort to allow riders to maintain an authentic connection to the lifestyle they cherish while still protecting themselves, Resistol has developed the RideSafe helmet. Designed in the style of a traditional 7X fur felt cowboy hat, the Resistol RideSafe is protective headwear at its finest.

Tragically, three out of every five accidental equestrian deaths are due to the brain damage sustained during injury. The Resistol RideSafe was created to not only drastically reduce head injuries, but increase rider confidence in safety.

“Horses are powerful animals with minds of their own,” said Ricky Bolin, General Manager of Hatco, “Whether riding competitively or recreationally, there is always a risk of being thrown. With our new RideSafe helmet, we are able to keep riders protected while offering the great fit, comfort and iconic style of a Resistol hat
