So obviously we all wear head protection but who said it had to be ugly. As the years go on helmets have become more and more stylish. With so many different options in today's market where do you begin?
GPA
GPA 'Speed Air Evolution'- This helmet is amongst the most popular helmet of the A circuit these days. What once was only seen in the jumpers is now completely acceptable from the Hunter ring to the Eq. Retails for $569
GPA 'First Lady'- Now this helmet has become more and more popular since its release. Also know as Olympic star, Reed Kessler's favorite helmet. This hat is great because the wide brim offers more shade on your face from the sun without the use of a helmet visor. A little more pricey it retails at, $669.
GPA 'First Lady Leather'- Now talk about a stunning helmet. I absolutely love this helmet. It makes such a statement. I love the brown color and the gold GPA logo as an accent. I have not seen this helmet on the circuit yet but oh my it's gorgeous. It retails for 890 Euros. Also comes in, Black/Tan & Grey/Grey
Samshield
Samshield 'Basic Helmet'- Samshield's are starting to be seen more on the circuit now, worn by Lillie Kennan in the equitation ring. Acceptable for any ring this offers a lower profile helmet with minima design. Retails for $545 and comes in a bevy of colors, Navy, Brown & Black with the option of a matte stripe or silver one.
Antares
Antares 'Custom Helmet'- I absolutely love anything navy. I think this helmet looks great in the navy suede with black leather detail. If navy is too flashy for you, it comes in a variety of colors. The custom starts at a base price of $890
Antares Helmet or the 'Hunter Helmet'- a way more traditional plain helmet. I love how the outer shell is done in suede. Very traditional not too flashy at all for any ring. Retails for $499
KEP
The KEP 'Textile Helmet'- an Italian helmet that is becoming popular on the circuit. I have seen it worn in the jumpers as well as Savannah Jenkins debuted it at ASPCA MaClay finals. Retails for $599
