Description
Superior protection, comfort & design.
Designed for the most challenging and extreme horse riding, the Charles Owen 4Star is certified to meet the four top international standards:
CE marked to VG1SEI certified to ASTM F1163SNELL certified to SNELL E2001BSI Kitemarked to the newly enhanced PAS015:2011
A technically superior helmet, the deep-fitting 4 Star is the result of years of advanced computer analysis and incorporates the latest aramid fibres, which are embedded in a tough resin matrix for vastly improved crush resistance. The neat quick release buckle in a high strength alloy fastens the patented GRpx harness system for the ultimate helmet stability.
The 4 Star helmet also features the new Charles Owen Free Fit system which allows for increased airflow across the forehead. It combines a frontal air channel with a Coolmaxmesh which significantly increases cooling and evaporation of sweat. Add this to the 10 ventilation slots and the 4 Star is the coolest ride yet.
Perfectly finished with a black ventilated silk, the 4 Star helmet is the ultimate choice for the safety conscious rider.
Available from 0 - 4 1/2 in black or heat reflective silver. Please note not all helmet sizes are core stock and some may be made to order.

The estimated dispatch or delivery time for this product is shown above below the "add to cart" button once you have made your size / colour selections. This is the most accurate estimate for this item and is updated based on current stock availability.

Returns on Riding Hats
We are happy to accept returns on riding hats and helmets provided they are returned in unused, unworn, perfect resaleable condition, with all original tags and packaging intact.
As these are safety-critical products, we apply strict return standards to ensure every helmet we sell remains safe and compliant. Returns that do not meet these requirements will be refused and returned to you at your expense.
How to Package Your Return
- Always place the helmet inside its original manufacturer's box, where supplied.
- The manufacturer's box must then be placed inside a sturdy outer shipping box with adequate protective packaging (packing peanuts / bubble wrap).
- Use the original packing materials supplied with your order wherever possible.
- If your helmet was not supplied in a manufacturer's box, please return it using the same protective packaging it arrived in.
- Never return a helmet in just a mailing bag or in its manufacturer's box without an outer box.
- Ensure the outer box is large enough to protect the helmet from damage during transit.
Please do not attach tape, labels or postage directly to the helmet or manufacturer's box. Doing so makes the product unsuitable for resale and will incur a non-refundable 15% repackaging charge to cover the cost of replacing the branded packaging.
Returns We Cannot Accept
- Helmets returned in mailing bags.
- Helmets returned without an outer protective box.
- Helmets returned in damaged or undersized packaging.
- Helmets showing signs of use, damage or missing tags.
Any return that does not meet these requirements will be refused and returned to you. If return postage is not paid within 30 days, the helmet will be disposed of.
If you are unsure how to package your helmet correctly, please contact our customer service team before sending your return. We're always happy to help.
