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
here was a dramatic finish to cross-country day at the MARS Badminton Horse Trials when the top two riders, Oliver Townend, with Paul and Diana Ridgeon's mare Cooley Rosalent, and Ros Canter with Lordships Graffalo, were both awarded 15 penalties for going the wrong side of a fence flag.
The Yanmar America Tryon International Spring Three-Day Event presented by Tow & Collect kicked off Thursday with dressage in the International Stadium and Rings 6/7, continuing into Friday.
Oliver Townend, who has never made any secret of his desire for another MARS Badminton Horse Trials victory, is now at the head of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the dressage phase.
