The Precision riding helmet has been designed to keep you safe both on and off your horse. Our R&D team has worked hard to ensure this specialized helmet complies with the new 2023 safety standard.
This all-black Reference helmet looks stylish, sleek, and sophisticated. Our goal: Provide riders with ever higher standards of safety and comfort. Inspired by motorcycle helmets, our design comprises a range of technical components for maximum protection and airflow.
Shell
The thicker outer shell is made from ABS. Its role is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet's surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by dispersing it. Both light and rigid, ABS is also highly scratch-resistant.
 Helmet Interior
The helmet liner is made from EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) in a new ground-breaking shape to absorb the energy from impacts by dispersing it. As a result, the liner becomes far denser. Inside, the liner is partly covered in blue waffle-shaped ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) foam pads. This new technical innovation better spreads out the energy from small bumps and big impacts. It also has anti-rotational properties. If you take a hit while riding, the blue waffle-shaped pads move with your head across the helmet shell to limit the risk of head injuries.
Air vents 
The Reference Precision riding helmet features a new airflow system with 11 apertures inside the helmet and 2 vents front and rear. This new system provides better airflow and keeps your head cool. It also has air ducts under the visor, which improve airflow inside the helmet. 
Fastening system
The helmet fastening has been completely redesigned with an easy-to-use "Fidlock" magnetic fastener. This means you can clip and unclip your helmet using one hand. The helmet fastener comes with a nylon lock ring, providing the rider with added safety. The nylon and leather harness ensures the helmet fits securely on the rider's head. The Y-shaped fastening system with its widely spaced anchor points, also called a 3-point fastening, ensures the helmet sits firmly on your head. The helmet has nylon straps. 
And for added comfort... Elasticated straps at the rear of the helmet relieve any pressure on the back of the head for added comfort, so you can ride with your hair up.
Standard visor
The short visor has been designed to respond to the demands of eventers on a cross-country course and to protect the rider in the event of a fall. The European standard EN1384-2023 requires the visor to bend when a load is applied to it. This is to prevent it from breaking and injuring the rider. The visor of Antares helmets is therefore deliberately flexible. In case of deformation, it can be manipulated manually to restore its original shape.
