I have a CO JR8. I love it. The sizes seem to run pretty true and it is fairly light, but it doesn't breathe well, but does wick sweat away from your head and even in the 90 + degree weather at the dressage show, it wasen't that hot.
Troxels are light and breathe well, but kinda look trashy in the show ring. If you are doing dressage, even low level, I would go with an IRH or the CO. Some IRH helmets run small and also come in long oval or round.
This is me in my JR8: I unfortionately do not have a picture of me in my IRH, but I bought one of the cheaper ones and it gave me severe mushroom head. It also didn't fit me very well and was tight on my forehead. The CO fits me like a glove. It is also ultrasuead instead of velvet, so no crushing velvet. I don't have any experience with Tipperarys, but I was considering buying one instead of a skullcap until I saw somebody wearing one. I just didn't like the way it looked, but to each his or her own. ETA: I am not sure what is going on with my fingers there. Strange.

You can't have temperament on horses. When something doesn't go well, you quickly get upset... that's not for horses, that's for husbands. ~ George Morris Survivor of the Great Kitty Massacre '08
