Uvex Exxential III Mips Riding Hat

Uvex Exxential III Mips Riding Hat 

Heading out for a hack on a flighty horse or jumping a course of fences means you want a helmet that does its job without feeling like a heavy bowling ball balanced on your head. Weighing in at just 430g, this sporty riding hat solves that problem by fusing a tough polycarbonate outer shell directly to an impact-absorbing EPS inner layer. It is built specifically to meet the strict EN 1384:2023-06 and ASTM F1163-23 safety standards, giving you peace of mind whether you are managing a young horse through a spooky farm lane or loading up for a busy day at a competition. 

The real magic here is the integrated Mips layer, which is a clever low-friction liner that slides independently inside the shell during an oblique fall to divert dangerous rotational forces away from your brain. If you struggle with helmets pinching your forehead or slipping forward when you look down, the built-in 3D IAS system allows you to tweak both the height and width for a secure, custom fit. Uvex even reshaped the back of the shell to accommodate a low ponytail comfortably, so you can focus entirely on your leg aids rather than adjusting a digging hair tie mid-ride. 

Exxential III Mips Features: 

• Features a low-friction inner shell that moves independently during angled falls to absorb and redirect harsh rotational forces away from your head. 
• Fully certified to EN 1384:2023-06 and ASTM F1163-23 requirements for trusted protection across competitive and everyday riding disciplines. 
• Combines a polycarbonate outer layer with an EPS inner core to create a 430g helmet that prevents neck fatigue during long show days. 
• Utilises a dial-turn system that alters both the width and internal height of the lining to eliminate pressure points on different head shapes. 
• Incorporates an ergonomically dropped rear shell with a dedicated gap to prevent long hair from forcing the helmet forward over your eyes.
