In the saddle, but not without a helmet on your head

A riding helmet is an important part of a rider's basic equipment and protects against serious injuries in case of a fall. Besides a good fit and standardized safety, the comfort of the riding helmet plays an important role. The riding helmet is often the only safety measure in case of an accident, so it is all the more important that it fits properly and is adjusted accordingly.

Of course, it's up to you whether you want to wear a riding helmet or not. For many courses, tournaments, orientation rides, and other organized riding events, wearing a riding helmet is mandatory, and without a certified riding helmet, you are not allowed to participate. Therefore, even the best rider on the calmest horse should use a riding helmet, because "If you have a brain, protect it!"

Despite the fact that there can always be unexpected situations with our beloved horses, a riding helmet and a safety vest protect against serious injuries.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), CE Marking, and VG1

All our riding helmets comply with the current standard VG1 01.040 2014-12, briefly VG1. With this standard, the rules for riding helmets have been tightened and advances in material and construction of the helmets have been achieved.

Among other things, the helmet shell is tested according to the following criteria:

• Impact absorption test on the forehead, at the side of the head, and at the back of the head
• Penetration
• Stability test
• Fall height
• Strength test on the chin strap
• Adhesion
• Flexibility of the visor
• Field of vision
• Plastic thickness

According to the VG1 standard, the helmet must now withstand a fall from 1.80 m height, and the plastic should be foamed to a thickness of 4-5 mm. This is why the new riding helmets often look a bit bulkier. Chin protectors, as were common in the past, are no longer allowed because they can lead to broken jaws in the event of a fall.

How long is VG1 current? A new standard is already under discussion. In principle, however, it follows the requirements of VG1. Besides minor adjustments and new colors, riders continue to receive the proven models. So if you want to buy a new riding helmet, you can do so with a clear conscience, because due to various inconsistencies, the new standard has been postponed indefinitely.

MIPS Technology – Revolutionary Protection for Female Equestrians

The safety of our customers is our top priority, which is why we are proud to offer riding helmets with advanced MIPS technology. MIPS is a revolutionary technology designed to absorb and distribute the energy from oblique impacts. This additional protection significantly reduces the risk of brain injuries in the event of a fall. A women's riding helmet with MIPS technology is a wise choice for any equestrian who does not want to compromise on safety.

MIPS stands for "Multi-Directional Impact Protection System." It is a helmet technology designed to better protect the head from rotational forces that can occur at oblique impact angles. These forces are particularly critical as they can lead to severe brain injuries. MIPS is based on the idea that additional protection against these rotational movements can be provided by a special system within the helmet.

A MIPS helmet features an inner layer that can move slightly within the helmet upon impact. This mobility allows the helmet to move relative to the head at an oblique impact, absorbing and reducing the rotational forces and energies transmitted to the brain that would otherwise cause more serious injuries.

Measure Head Circumference and Helmet Size Correctly

To determine your needed size, measure your head circumference with a tape measure. The corresponding riding helmet sizes are assigned to the visible value in cm. If your measured value is on the border between two sizes, it's best to order both adjacent sizes and then return one of the helmets.

Finding the Right Size: The Riding Helmet Fits Correctly When It

... sits comfortably and firmly, but does not press
... rests evenly on the head and does not slip
... does not allow a finger between the head and the helmet

Tip: If you shake your head, the riding helmet should not slip.

Set the Helmet Correctly:

• Adjust the helmet to your head with the continuously adjustable visor system wheel.
• The chin strap must sit as tightly as possible. If it's too loose, the helmet can slip.
• The side straps (the Y-strap) are positioned correctly when the upper straps cross below the ear hole.
• The entire strap guidance is tight.

Lifespan of a Riding Helmet - When Should a Riding Helmet Be Replaced?

Riding helmets have an expiration date. Generally, a riding helmet should be replaced every 5 years, even if it looks flawless from the outside. The reason for this is the inner material, which becomes brittle over time and can no longer absorb an impact as effectively. The head is no longer optimally protected. A polycarbonate helmet should be replaced every 3-4 years, and a fiberglass or carbon helmet every 5-6 years. What matters is not the years of use, but the manufacturing date of the helmet.

If the rider falls or the helmet is subjected to a severe impact, this helmet should be replaced immediately.
After such a strong application of force, small microcracks are very likely to appear in the inner helmet. These are often not visible but significantly impair the safety function of the riding helmet. In the event of another accident, the riding helmet can no longer guarantee its maximum function.

Environmental influences such as weather conditions, temperature fluctuations , or sunlight can also permanently damage the riding helmet. Protect your helmet optimally by transporting the head protection in a protective cover or in a helmet case to avoid scratches and dirt.
