Safety Measures

  • ASTM/SEI CertifiedASTM/SEI Certified

    The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) writes widely known safety standards, then an independent testing laboratory called the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) ensures that manufacturers design helmets that are up to par. The ASTM/SEI testing standard requires impact and retention tests, as well as a visor test to make sure that the visor breaks away or flexes without injuring the face.

  • European CertifiedEuropean Certified

    European standards are put together by a committee comprised of representatives from countries in the EU. In addition to impact, retention, and visor tests, these safety standards demand that helmets withstand penetration and crushing. The inclusion of the latter two tests is thought to produce safer helmets than those only certified to ASTM standards by SEI.

  • SNELL CertifiedSNELL Certified

    The Snell Foundation uses what is considered the most demanding testing procedure for riding helmets. Their tests include all aspects of the other certifications but with more stringent standards. Snell drops the helmets from a greater height during the impact test onto a variety of differently-shaped anvils, has the highest crush resistance rating, and ensures the helmet offers sufficient head coverage without sacrificing the rider's field of vision.

  • MIPSMIPS

    MIPS, or Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, is an additional layer embedded in some helmets to reduce strain on the brain upon a fall. When the helmet makes contact with a surface, the low-friction MIPS layer allows the head to move 10 to 15 mm in all directions to dissipate impact on the brain.

  • ERT FoamERT Foam

    ERT, or Energy Reduction Technology, consists of soft polymer pads incorporated into the helmet design that mitigates rotational and linear impact. With the motto "Softer is Safer", ERT works immediately and is most effective with lower-impact falls.

Great Service and Great FitI ordered this last week for an upcoming show. I normally ride English but am entering some Western classes at our next local show. While I've worn a felt hat in the past, I just don't like getting on a horse without a helmet. This fits perfectly, and yes, some folks who ride Western will probably think it is totally unnecessary. I like it and plan to wear it anytime I ride Western. Definitely size up if you are between sizes; I normally wear a small (6 7/8) in a Troxel helmet, but the medium was the right choice for this helmet. Riding Warehouse shipped the day after I ordered it, and I had it in less than a week. Very pleased!

Just doesn't fit right or look right.I'm having a very hard time returning this hat. Probably wont buy from Riding Warehouse again. It may be a decent helmet, but not being able to return it for the right size or a different hat at this price point is a huge red flag. Don't make my mistake.

Comments: I bought the Resistol Hat Helmet to replace my riding helmet with sun-brim contraption because I needed a reliable solution to keeping the sun off my head but still protect my brain. I ride in the far south end of California right across the border and only a couple of miles in from the ocean. We have a lot of breezy and windy days here. I was a little hesitant to get a western hat. I'm not a cowgirl, I ride English and now mostly trails. Well, I have to say I'm much calmer and so is my horse since I no longer worry about my sun-brim blowing off. My Resistol helmet is secure and my head is cool, even with the pricier black hat helmet.

Comments: I have been using this helmet for several years since switching to western. Wearing my English riding hat seemed wrong. I often get looks of disdain as people think I'm not wearing a helmet and occasionally get asked about the certification. I would never ride without a helmet and think it's silly that western riders often do because (insert statement about tradition). This helmet is the perfect compromise. It's my hope that this will catch on and more western riders will start taking head injury more seriously. Just get one and protect your noodle.
