Charles Owen has announced a recall of the Limited Edition 4Star Cross Country Helmet with Chrome Buckle.

Charles Owen, the official riding helmet of the USEA, announced today a new safety campaign for 2017. “Safety365” will share the many ways Charles Owen makes safety a priority every day of the year

As a sportsman, we can test ourselves at home, but it is only when we test ourselves at local, national or even international shows or events that we can really know how good we are. It is the same with helmets; the best can be tested anywhere in the world and pass with flying colours.

Helmets have come a long way from when they were being made out of cloth and shellac. Many of those advances are due to the plethora of modern materials. Selecting the right materials to be used in a Charles Owen helmet is an art in itself and is essential in creating the safest helmet possible.

Before a helmet can even begin to head to the first step of production, Charles Owen has to decide what kind of helmet needs to be made. Charles Owen offers a wide variety of helmets that suits the needs of every equestrian. The designers pay close attention to trends in both equestrian and mainline fashion as well as safety and technological innovations before coming up with hundreds of designs, which are then whittled down to a few products that are worthy of the Charles Owen brand. Each helmet released is a direct result of what riders need and want.

Phillip Dutton and William Coleman both wore the newly launched Charles Owen 4Star Helmet at last week's Rolex Kentucky CCI4*. Watch the videos below to hear their feedback about the 4Star Helmet after wearing them for the first time on cross-country.
