Charles Owen is one of the leading safety Riding Hat manufacturers in the world. They are dedicated to your safety, helping to prevent injuries and saving lives. Charles Owen have the largest range or riding hats and helmets independently certified to the three international safety standards. These three safety standards therefore offer a greater range of head protection in a fall.

Each range of riding helmets at Charles Owen are independently and randomly checked for quality and safety. The three major riding hat safety standards to look out for are PAS 015, BSEN 1384 and ASTM F1163. Each safety standard tests for a different accidental situation. Horse Riding is an unpredictable sport, therefore the more safety standards your hat has, the more in depth protection is provided for your head.

The Charles Owen Riding skulls and helmets are made up from a hard outer shell, then a protective liner of top grade polystyrene, this is the key ingredient as the easiest analysis of this high class Polystyrene is to think of it as tiny, microscopic bubble wrap. When you fall and the initial impact of the hat occurs, these many layers of bubbles burst, providing a much greater stopping distance to your brain. This preventing and reducing the risks of damage to the brain.
