A helpful blog about horse riding helmet.

Look for a helmet that fits your head snugly and doesn’t move around when you’re riding.

When selecting a helmet, look for one that fits your head snugly and doesn’t move around when you’re riding. A helmet that is too tight will be uncomfortable to wear and can cause headaches, while one that is too loose may not protect your brain from injury as well. When trying on a helmet, make sure it is comfortable enough to wear for an hour or so without feeling like it wants to fall off – this will give you some idea of how the fit might be on longer rides.

Also note: Do not rely on the chin strap alone! The chin straps are meant to keep the helmets in place during falls or collisions with other riders; however, they are not designed for holding up the weight of the entire helmet all day long.

Consider the riding you do and how much protection you need before purchasing a helmet.

When buying a helmet, consider the type of riding you do and how much protection you need before purchasing a helmet. The following factors will help you decide what type of riding and protection is right for your needs:

• Riding style: If you are an experienced rider who has had lessons and rides only in small arenas where horses aren’t galloping or jumping over fences, then perhaps all you’ll need is a half-shell helmet that covers your ears. However, if you are new to riding or plan on doing trail rides with steep hills and obstacles such as streams or rocky landings, then it’s wise to get a full face shield for extra protection.

Make sure the helmet you select is certified by SEI or ASTM.

Make sure that your horse riding helmet is certified by SEI or ASTM. The two organizations are the only ones that test and certify helmets for safety, so a helmet without one of their certifications will not keep you safe while riding.

You can check this by looking at the label on the back of your helmet. It should say something like: “Certified to ASTM F2040” or “Certified to SEI M2015” if it meets these standards of safety.

If you don’t see any mention of these organizations on your label, ask yourself why? Is it because their testing doesn’t mean much? Or maybe their certification process just isn’t as strict as theirs? Maybe they’re hiding something? In all likelihood, it’s probably just a simple mistake from whoever made your helmet – but we suggest looking into another brand if this is the case!

Do your research.

When you’re looking to make a purchase, it’s always important to do your research. When it comes to buying a horse riding helmet, there are several things you should look at before making a final decision:

• Look at multiple brands. There are many different brands of helmets and each one offers different features. If you don’t know much about the market, start by looking at a couple of major brands like Ariat and Tipperary and compare their prices with other leading sellers in your area.
• Research safety features. Some helmets have built-in ear protection while others have removable ear cups that can be added when needed but removed when not required (for example, when riding indoors or competing). You’ll also want to make sure that any horse riding helmets you consider have the chin strap secured tightly so it doesn’t come loose during use or fall off entirely in the event of an accident!

Horse riding helmets should be replaced every five years (check the manufacturer’s guidelines to be sure).

Horse riding helmets should be fastened with a chin strap.

Horse riding helmets should be fastened with a chin strap. This is one of the most important things to look for in a horse riding helmet, as it keeps your head gear in place and will prevent potential injuries if you fall off your horse while riding. Your chin strap should feel snug but not too tight, so that you can breathe comfortably. It’s important to choose a chin strap made from soft material that won’t irritate your face or neck when it’s fastened on tightly, such as leather or elastic rubberized material rather than metal buckles which may pinch your skin or snag your hair if there are any long strands sticking out from underneath the helmet itself

There are several factors to consider when buying a horse riding helmet.

There are several factors to consider when buying a horse riding helmet.

• Fit: The first thing to do is find the right size for your head and make sure that it fits snugly enough so that it doesn’t move around when you ride. A good way of doing this is by trying on different sizes until one feels comfortable and secure without being too tight or loose.
• Level of protection: If you are going to be riding in competitions, then you’ll want a helmet with enough padding that will cover all areas of your head, not just the forehead like some cheap models may provide. This will protect against injuries such as concussions which can occur if there isn’t enough coverage over vulnerable parts such as behind ears or at base of skull (baseball type injuries). Also look out for ventilation holes as these can help prevent overheating while also making sure sweat doesn’t build up inside causing discomfort after prolonged use – this especially important if wearing during hot weather conditions such as summertime! Not all helmets come with these features though so make sure yours does before buying one so that comfortability isn’t compromised when using outdoors during high temperatures throughout winter months where sweating occurs more often than normal due temperature extremes outside air temperature changes between day/night times etcetera…
