Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Karben Sonic Alessa Riding Hat legal for competition?

Yes! The Karben Sonic Alessa Riding Hat meets PAS015:2011, VG1, and ASTM F1163-15 standards, making it legal for most competitive organizations, including Pony Club and British Eventing (for non-XC phases).

Q: Can I use this helmet for Cross-Country?

Because this helmet features a fixed wide brim, it is strictly prohibited for the Cross-Country phase of Eventing, where a peakless skull cap is required for safety.

Q: How do I ensure I have the right fit?

After adjusting the dial-fit system, perform the "Eyebrow Test." The helmet should be snug enough that when you move the brim up and down, the skin on your forehead moves with it.
