The Equestrian’s Dilemma
Every rider knows the struggle: safety gear that sacrifices style, or fashion-forward helmets that compromise protection. For years, equestrians have faced impossible choices – bulky designs that feel like medieval armor, or delicate headwear that wouldn’t survive a serious fall.
The consequences are real. According to Equestrian Medical Safety Association data, 42% of concussion incidents involve helmets with inadequate energy absorption. Meanwhile, 67% of riders admit avoiding helmet use during non-competitive riding due to aesthetic discomfort.
