Best Equestrian Helmets of 2025

Charles Owen Helmets has been an equestrian household name for a reason. With testimonials from professional to amateur riders, these helmets have played a major role in minimizing head injuries in the event of a fall. We specifically chose the Kylo model as our 'Best Value' for its rigorously tested safety features, highly adjustable dial fit, universal shape for both round and oval-shaped heads, generous ventilation, multiple finish and brim options, and highly affordable price! Its subtle, modern look makes the Kylo a great choice for any arena. Many of us here at Riding Warehouse have chosen this helmet as our riding helmet, and we highly recommend it!

Customer reviews across all Trauma Void Helmets rave about their high level of comfort, safety, and affordable pricing. Many riders mention how you will forget the helmet is even there! With beautiful styles available, riders in every arena can find their perfect Trauma Void helmet. We specifically chose the Lynx model for its modern deep profile that sits lower on the head for that full coverage feel, its outstanding safety features with MIPS technology, the highly adjustable dial fit, and the staggering number of 5-star reviews! The Lynx comes in three different neutral color options to suit your personal style. Customers love this helmet, and so do we here at Riding Warehouse!

IRH has become a household name for helmets, making great options for your first helmet and your ideal show helmet. They prioritize safety and comfort without sacrificing style and bring innovative products to the market. The F1 is no exception, showing a sleek and sophisticated design in a lightweight and breathable body. The F1 line is comfortable enough to wear all day with front vents and moisture-wicking liners. We also love that each helmet comes with two liners in different thicknesses to help you achieve the perfect fit. Finished with a wide brim, this helmet is great for sunny rides and keeping you shaded!

One K Helmets boomed onto the market with its high-end look, customizable features, and affordable price point. Offering full coverage with breathability, these helmets have become a fast favorite across the disciplines for good reason! The One K helmets have a slightly different fit than many of the popular high-end brands. They feature a shallow profile from the top to the brow, fitting riders best with smaller foreheads/crowns! The MIPS Safety CCS has changeable front shields, top panels, and stripe rail, so riders can create a variety of personalized looks, whether your style is more subtle or vibrant.

KEP Italia helmets have always brought an elevated look into rider's safety gear. Directly from the fashion gurus in Italy, the Cromo 2.0 combines a high-fashion look with remarkable technology. Not only do their helmets meet the tough safety testing of European standards, but the Cromo 2.0s feature a new integrated microchip to allow easy transmission of emergency medical information to first responders. The customization options put this helmet over the top for us. Instead of needing two helmets, the Cromo 2.0 has changeable inserts that allow you to have a conservative or expressive look in the show ring. You can even swap to a wide brim for sun coverage, or remove it completely for cross-country. The options are limitless!

Kask Helmets have become a favorite among the Riding Warehouse staff! They have mastered the perfect blend of classic and modern styling for a design that is sure to stand the test of time. The sporty look of the Star Lady makes it perfect for jumpers or eventing, yet it remains classic enough for the hunters or dressage ring. The honeycomb aeration grids provide maximum airflow from front to back to keep you cool during the hardest rides. We love the self-adjusting FIT system, which features a back cradle that adapts to different factors, like varying hairstyles that can change helmet fit from day to day.

The Tipperary Helmets have been one of the top favorites in the Endurance community for years for good reason. With its lightweight construction and full coverage ventilation, you can practically feel the breeze through this great helmet. The lower back cradles the base of the skull for full coverage protection. For a rider traveling long distances in sometimes hot weather, the Sportage 8500 checks all the boxes for what they need for safety and comfort!

TuffRider outdid themselves with their Starter helmet, bringing a high-end and sporty look at an affordable price point. This helmet is a great option for growing kids and riders looking to not break the bank. The Dial-Fit system on the Starter allows for easy adjustability, which is perfect for growth spurts or hair changes. The carbon fiber vents offer great ventilation, even on hot summer days. This design is ready to keep you cool with a Coolmax liner that wicks away moisture to keep you in the saddle all year long!

Ovation made the Deluxe Scooler with a lightweight design that is perfect for growing kids who may not be accustomed to wearing a helmet yet. Designed for breathability and comfort, your little one might even forget they are wearing it! The low-profile shaping creates a flattering look in a variety of fun colors to suit every little rider's style. The dial-fit system in the Schooler is perfect for growing riders, switching the helmet between different kids, or accommodating hair changes that might alter helmet fit. Available in sizes for our tiniest riders all the way up to adults!
