Frequently asked questions

How should a riding helmet fit?
A helmet should sit level on your head, feel snug without pressure points, and stay secure without shifting when you move. Adjustable liners and dial-fit systems can help fine-tune the fit. Find more details and fitting videos here.

What’s the difference between removable liners and fixed liners?
Removable liners can be taken out for cleaning or adjusting fit, while fixed liners are built in and typically require spot cleaning.

What is MIPS and do I need it?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to reduce rotational forces during certain impacts. While not required, many riders choose MIPS helmets for added safety features. Find more details about MIPS here.

What’s the difference between wide and standard brims?
Wide brims provide more sun protection and coverage, while standard brims offer a more traditional look and feel.

Are all helmets suitable for both schooling and showing?
Many helmets can be used for both, but some styles and finishes are more commonly used in the show ring depending on discipline.

What do all the different riding helmet safety certifications mean?
Safety certifications show that a helmet has been tested to meet specific impact and safety standards. ASTM/SEI is the most common certification in the U.S., while CE EN is used in Europe and BSI Kitemark in the U.K. Snell is an independent certification that uses its own testing standards. Snell also publishes specific standards for equestrian and harness racing use. While certifications vary by region, all indicate the helmet has passed established safety requirements for riding.
