About the 4Star
Designed for the extreme situation, the 4Star jockey skull is certified to the four top international standards:
CE marked to BSEN1384;
SEI certified to ASTM F1163;
SNELL certified to SNELL E2001; and
BSI Kitemarked to the newly enhanced PAS015:2011.
A technically superior helmet, the deep-fitting 4Star 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 in stability.
The 4Star 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 Coolmax® mesh which significantly increases cooling and evaporation of sweat. Add this to the 10 ventilation slots and the 4Star is the coolest ride yet.
Perfectly finished with a black ventilated silk, the 4Star helmet is the ultimate choice for the safety conscious rider.
Colors: Black or Heat Reflective Silver
Sizes: 1 ½ to 3

Balance and stability are fundamental to success in eventing, where precision and control are demanded across three distinct phases. At this year's USEA Annual Meeting and Convention, our partner, Bates Saddles' expert presentation on saddle fit and rider position highlighted a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of our sport: how small adjustments to our equipment can lead to significant improvements in our riding.
