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.

Safety Standard
Horse Riding Hat Safety Standards
Horse riding hats and helmets are crucial for protecting the rider's head in the event of a fall or handling injury. In the UK, riding hats must meet stringent safety standards to ensure adequate protection. Each discipline has its own requirements for safety standards required to compete but the most readily accepted safety standard for riding hats in the UK is PAS015:2011 with BSI Kitemark; if you are unsure, give our team a call and we can assist further. The most important factor when selecting a horse riding hat after ensuring it meets the correct safety standard is to ensure the fit is correct for your head shape.
PAS015:2011:
PAS015 is a British standard that sets out specifications for riding hats, including design, construction, and performance requirements. Hats compliant with PAS015 (2011) undergo rigorous testing to assess their ability to absorb impact and protect the rider's head from injury.
VG1:
VG1 is a European safety standard that covers various protective headgear, including riding hats. In the UK, riding hats must meet or exceed VG1 standards to be considered safe for use. VG1 certification ensures that the hat meets minimum safety requirements for impact absorption and structural integrity. VG1 will often be found in hats in conjunction with PAS015:2011 for many UK helmet manufacturers.
SNELL E2016 & E2021:
SNELL is an American safety standard which offers an improved crush resistance test of 1000N. SNELL can be found in conjunction with PAS015:2011 on some models of jockey skulls and is often selected for riders competing in cross country training or competition where there is a higher risk of rotational fall.
Body Protector Safety Requirements:
BETA Level 3 (2018)
In addition to wearing a properly certified and correctly fitted horse riding hat, riders should also consider using a body protector to reduce the risk of trauma to the body.
Body protectors are designed to absorb impact and reduce the risk of injury in the event of a fall or collision thus reducing the risk of bruising and rib fracture. BETA Level 3 (2018) is considered appropriate for general riding, competitions including eventing and working with horses. Most riding schools will require riders to wear a BETA Level 3 (2018) body protector for jumping activities and all establishments will require one is worn when riding cross country. Similarly to a riding hat, achieving the correct fit is essential for comfort and performance.
