Your Vision, Our Expertise, The Perfect Helmet.

Proper care is essential to maintain the safety and longevity of your equestrian helmet. As a manufacturer, we at SPIRIT provide these key recommendations. First, always store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade the materials over time. Avoid exposing your helmet to harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or insect repellents, as they can damage the shell and compromise its integrity. Clean the outer shell with only mild soap and water. Most modern helmets have a removable and washable liner; follow the care instructions, typically a gentle hand wash, to keep it fresh. Never leave your helmet in a hot car, as extreme heat can damage the EPS foam liner. By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure your equestrian helmet remains in the best possible condition to protect you when you need it most.

A proper fit is essential for an equestrian helmet to provide maximum protection. At SPIRIT, we engineer a multi-faceted approach to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for a wide range of head shapes. It starts with the internal shape of the helmet itself, which we have refined over 17 years to provide a comfortable, accommodating fit. The core of our system is the adjustable retention harness. A dial-adjustable cradle at the back of the helmet allows the rider to fine-tune the circumference for a precise, 360-degree grip. This system is also vertically adjustable to sit perfectly at the base of the skull. We use a secure 3- or 4-point harness made from soft, durable webbing to ensure the helmet remains stable without causing chafing. Finally, we provide interchangeable padded liners of different thicknesses, allowing the rider to achieve a truly customized fit. This comprehensive system ensures a SPIRIT-made equestrian helmet is both safe and exceptionally comfortable.

While all certified helmets offer baseline protection, the design of an equestrian helmet is often tailored for the specific discipline. For dressage, the aesthetic is paramount. Helmets are typically very traditional and elegant, often with a classic black velvet finish, a formal bow at the back, and a more conservative profile. For show jumping, helmets become more modern and versatile. They often feature durable matte or gloss finishes, better ventilation, and sometimes a wider, more protective brim. The most distinct equestrian helmet is designed for the high-impact sport of cross-country. Safety is the absolute priority here. These helmets must have a fixed, non-detachable brim, are often brightly colored for visibility, and feature the most extensive ventilation to keep the rider cool during the intense exertion of the course. At SPIRIT, we have the expertise to manufacture the ideal helmet for every discipline.
