- GPA signature on the front,
- Easy to clean.
- Front ventilation consisting of a shaped stainless steel mesh acting as a central air vent.
- Large air input creating ventilation inside the helmet with evacuation of the air behind the hat.

SAFETY STANDARDS ON THIS HELMET
EUROPE
EN 1384 : laid down by all the European countries and recognised by many countries worldwide (China, Japan, Australia, South America, etc.)
USA
ASTM : official mandatory standard
SEI : optional standard with more stringent requirements
UK
KITEMARK : additional standard required in competition, by pony clubs and some associations
In order to obtain full official certification, the GPA helmets have successively undergo a series of tests. Explanations :
ROUND ANVIL TEST
Objective : to verify the even distribution of the shockwave in order to limit the risks of traumatism.
The GPA response : the helmet's outer shell absorbs and distributes the impact of the shockwave around the inner lining of the helmet
POINTED ANVIL TEST
Objective : to verify that a sharp object will not pierce the helmet
The GPA response : the helmet's outer shell ensures the maximum of resistance thanks to the use of highly resistant materials (e.g. carbon is 11 times more solid than steel).
The inner shell lining also plays a role in absorbing the shockwave.
HELMET RETENTION TEST
Objective : to verify that the helmet stays on in the event of a fall and that the harness strap system is not too long.
The GPA response : the helmet's harness strap system is anchored by 4 rivets and uses a self-locking buckle (Dual-Lock).
VISOR TEST
Objective : to verify the flexibility of the visor to prevent nasal fracture in the event of a fall.
The GPA response : the visors of the helmets are flexible, and some models even propose a visor that will detach in a fall
Measuring for a correct fit:
To determine what size riding hat you need, measure the circumference of your head to the nearest cm.
Measure across the widest part of the head, above the eyebrows and ears, and then select from the drop down list the corresponding size hat to your measurements.
