Within the Charles Owen range of equestrian helmets, the vast majority of the range from Charles Owen is accreditated to three specific safety standards; this means added protection from a scenario of falls or injury you may encounter with your horse or other horses. With Safety in mind, the Charles Owen helmet range has a fantastic range of low profile, ventilated horse riding helmets to suit your needs.
The Ayrbrush pinstripe from Charles Owen is an elegant, sleek equestrian helmet which has a removable liner, faux leather harness including chin strap, and ten ventilation holes mean this hat will be incredibly comfortable for any rider to wear. In addition to ventilation, the fit is integral to the helmet design, as, with any Charles Owen hat, this hat would be ideal for any rider. Meaning any rider can use them for a wide variety of disciplines such as show jumping, dressage or any riding club events. The three safety standards this hat meets mean it is a fantastic choice of riding hat to keep your head safe.
Another fantastic equestrian helmet is the Ayr 8 Plus from Charles Owen; it features many of the same features which make the Ayrbrush an excellent choice for horse riding but feature an alternative look. It is also based on a different shell, and although the fit is similar to the Ayrbrush or Pro II, it is not identical. Available in a selection of finishes, either microsuede or leather look, this helmet is again a low profile helmet and will be suitable for any rider who wants a comfortable, stylish helmet with a great fit.
A more classically styled riding hat is the Fian from Charles Owen, it has a lovely flesh coloured faux leather harness and chin strap. The superior velvet used on the Charles Owen Fian has a beautiful feel and an even more amazing look to it; it shows off the colour of this riding hat. It adds an unrivalled level of depth and sophistication to the hat. There is a traditional drawstring within the hat, ensuring every rider gets the perfect fit.
The MyPS from Charles Owen features new technology for a riding helmet, MIPS. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System and is specifically designed to reduce brain injury caused by a horseback riding accident. This riding hat also features the three safety standards found on other Charles Owen helmets. The outer shell of the MyPS is made from a plastic composite as opposed to the traditional fibreglass outer shell used by most other equestrian riding helmets in Charles Owens range, meaning this riding hat is even more lightweight than others in the range. However, the plastic will shatter upon impact as opposed to the fibreglass, which will absorb some of the impact through flexing before passing the impact on to the expanded polystyrene foam lining. If you were looking for these features in a skull cap, then look at the MS1 Pro.
