Gatehouse Helmets Subjected to Rigorous Testing

Published on Monday, January 9, 2012 in General

Gatehouse Helmets expertise has been at the forefront of development over the years, producing riding headwear that is non-bulky, lightweight, comfortable and competitively priced. Your safety is their priority.  They have pioneered some major changes in headwear safety in recent years and are proud to be recognised by the British Standards Institute for consistency and high levels of test results.

The riding helmet range includes the HS1 jockey skull which is the only helmet in the UK to pass both British Standard Institute tests as well as Snell E2001. Snell E2001 is the highest manufactured equestrian safety standard in the world and includes a test that simulates a rider falling into a fence rail, or having a secondary hit by a horse’s hoof.

Ever wondered exactly how helmets get tested? Riders4helmets.com have compiled interesting photos of the Gatehouse HS1 Jockey Skull Snell being tested!
