The BEST Equestrian Riding Helmets 2020 Edition

I have put together a list of the BEST equestrian helmets on the market today. The equestrian industry is notoriously slow for adapting to technology but I feel strongly that the one place that should be adapted quickly is helmet safety technology.

While equestrian helmet companies worry about bling and rose gold coloring on the latest matte looking helmet, as riders we trust that they are doing their best to protect us for the amount of money we invest.

In a recent study on the safest helmets in the equestrian world the MIPS helmets were at the top of the class and introduced to the horse world by Back on Track, sadly not even traditional helmet company had to bring this tech into the marketplace.

You can learn more about MIPS here.

Sadly we are not being protected the way we can be and this is where you can have a voice with your buying power. ONLY BUY MIPS LIDS! MIPS technology has been available for commercial use since 2007. I have had it in my snowboard helmet for years, so why are we just starting to see it now in the equestrian world? Helmet companies need to do better and this is a change that you can help make.

While sponsored riders parade around in a pretty hat and tell you to wear one cuz their sponsor said so, they are not pushing companies to do better and to be better. They are merely puppet-like consumers of free product that best benefits them. It is time for a change and this is a change that you can help make buy ONLY buying an equestrian riding helmet with MIPS technology.

So here is the list of MIPS Lids.

Happy SAFE Riding!
