The RH021 — also known as the Victory helmet — is a new revolutionary riding hat that complies fully with safety standards approved for competition within Pony Club and British Riding Club rules and regulations.
The helmet has been tested to stringent British safety standards and has been awarded the BSI helmets for equestrian use kitemark (BSI EN 1384:2012).
At 100g lighter than most traditional riding hats, it weighs in at only 400g*, enabling a comfortable fit to any rider’s head.
When showjumping legend John Whitaker wore the hat to win the 2014 Amsterdam Grand Prix, he said: “This helmet is so lightweight, you don’t even know you’re wearing it.”
The textured carbon effect adds a contemporary design element. All helmets within the Victory Helmet collection encompass the revolutionary air ventilation system that incorporates 4 distinctive air vents to allow heat to escape from the rider’s head. The inner removable lining uses padded Coolmax™ technology to reduce perspiration, a plus for any rider.
The easy-to-use dial-to-fit system allows for a comfortable fit to your head. After the first few weeks of use most hats become loose, but with the simple dial-to-fit system you can turn it slightly to maintain a comfortable and secure fit. The helmet adjusts easily by rotating the circular dial at the back of the helmet in order to increase or decrease the size of the helmet, perfect if the hat has more than one user.
