Riding helmet – an important part of the rider's safety equipment
A riding helmet is designed to protect the head in case of a fall from a horse. Modern riding helmets are designed to combine high safety with low weight and good ventilation.
Most helmets are constructed with a shock-absorbing core and a durable outer shell that absorbs and distributes the force of an impact.
Common features of modern riding helmets:
• shock-absorbing construction
• low weight for high comfort
• ventilation system for airflow
• adjustable fit
• soft and comfortable inner padding
A good riding helmet allows you to fully focus on riding while staying safe.
Riding helmets with ventilation – cool comfort in the saddle
Ventilation is an important factor when choosing a riding helmet. A good ventilation system helps to transport away heat and moisture during the ride.
Many modern riding helmets have air channels and ventilation openings that provide a constant airflow through the helmet.
Benefits of ventilated riding helmets:
• better temperature regulation
• increased comfort during training
• reduced sweating
• more pleasant feeling in warmer weather
Ventilation is especially appreciated during summer rides or intense training.
Riding helmets with adjustable fit
A correct fit is crucial for the riding helmet to provide the right protection. Many helmets today have adjustable systems that allow you to easily adapt the fit to your head.
This can be adjustment wheels at the back of the helmet, replaceable inner linings, or different sizes of helmet shells.
A riding helmet should sit firmly without pressing and should not move when you move your head.
Riding helmets for children and juniors
Children and young riders need a riding helmet that is both safe and comfortable. Junior helmets are often lighter and have an adjustable fit so that the helmet can be adapted as the child grows.
A good children's helmet should be easy to put on, sit stably, and have good ventilation so that the child enjoys using the helmet every time they ride.
FAQ
How should a riding helmet fit?
A riding helmet should fit snugly and evenly around the head without pressing. It should not move forward or backward when you move your head. The chin strap should be tight but comfortable under the chin.
How do you know what size riding helmet to have?
You measure the circumference of the head with a tape measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows. The measurement in centimeters usually corresponds to the helmet size.
How often should you replace a riding helmet?
A riding helmet should always be replaced after a fall where the helmet has taken a hit. Even if it looks intact, the protection may be affected internally in the riding helmet. Generally, it is recommended to replace the helmet approximately every five years depending on usage.
