With a bit on, everything is held a lot closer. But it does help when they fit well (if it's too big and floppy it'll never stay put), have spandex ears, and are a tight enough weave to have some weight to it. But if you really can't get anything to work, you can add little velcro tabs to the top so that it velcros around your crownpiece. Or buy the PS of Sweden bonnets, which have those already on them. ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-20598113792898908052015-07-17T11:56:09.295-04:002015-07-17T11:56:09.295-04:00Interesting.

That doesn't mean I didn't have that same Dover bonnet in hunter green about 15 years ago, though lolz. <br /><br />I've heard good things about the fit of the USG bonnets- that's pretty much all we sell at work.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140631127593549541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-90709461139215150572015-07-17T11:18:15.719-04:002015-07-17T11:18:15.719-04:00I think it depends on the bonnet and the fit.

I bought a cheap cotton one from... don't know where, with tassels, and the string to secure it and that thing would slide off frequently enough that I stopped using it. I just bought a USG one from SmartPak - it has lycra ears, no tassels, and no string - and it has stayed put, no prob. Did a hunter pace, trail rides, hacking out, etc, and have had great success with it. <br /><br />I think Tristan is cool w/o the fly bonnet but I bet he'd love one!
