Equestrian Helmets

A light weight and well ventilated multi-discipline equestrian helmet. It comes equipped with a detachable visor and a fitted headliner that is easily removed for washing.

Bike and Multi-Sport Helmets

What should I look for in a bike helmet?

The helmet should sit on the top of the head in a level position, covering the forehead, and not rock forward and back or from side-to-side. Always try the helmet on before purchasing. Always ride with helmet straps buckled.

What kind of helmet should be worn for skateboards, scooters or in-line skates?

It is essential to wear a helmet. It is recommended that a person wears a multi-sport helmet for these “wheeled” activities, although a properly-fitted bicycle helmet is just as effective.

Bike Safety Tips

A bicycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head and brain injury by 85-88%.

Talk with children about bike helmets and bike safety.

Bumps and bruises heal, but a head injury can be forever.
