KEP Italia helmets are designed to offer a close, secure, and comfortable fit, with interchangeable liners allowing for a more personalised sizing experience. For the best fit, we recommend carefully following the KEP Italia size guide, as the helmet should feel snug and even around the head without pressure points. If you are between sizes or unsure which option is right for you, our team is happy to help — you can arrange a virtual fitting or give us a call in-store for expert sizing advice and support.

KEP Italia helmets are high-performance equestrian helmets designed with a focus on advanced impact protection, lightweight construction, ventilation, and rider comfort.

The current KEP Italia Cromo 2.0 range is certified to some of the most stringent international equestrian safety standards, including:

EN 1384:2023 (latest European equestrian helmet standard)
ASTM F1163-23 (current American equestrian helmet safety standard)

These certifications ensure the helmet has been rigorously tested for impact absorption, penetration resistance, stability, retention system strength, and crush resistance, all essential for rider protection in the event of a fall.

KEP helmets feature an in-mould polycarbonate shell, an extended rear profile for increased coverage, a secure five-point harness system, and the proprietary Air Control System for enhanced ventilation. Flexible visors and a customizable liner system further contribute to safety, comfort, and fit.

Manufactured in Italy, KEP helmets are engineered to combine modern safety performance with lightweight comfort for riders at all levels.

For safety reasons, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on riding helmets or any other safety equipment once purchased. This policy ensures that every helmet sold meets the highest safety standards and has not been compromised in any way.
If you need to adjust the fit of your helmet, additional liners can be purchased separately to create a more personalised and secure fit.
