Shires Karben Low Profile Riding Helmet - ASTM F1163-23 Safety Certified, Matte Finish, Adjustable Dial Fit
- Vendor: Shires
Product description
A Sleek Low Profile Helmet for Everyday Schooling
Best for: Riders looking for a lightweight, low profile schooling helmet with a certified shell and a quick dial fit.
The Shires Karben Matteo is a low profile schooling helmet certified to SEI ASTM F1163-23. It keeps a trim, modern shape with a painted matte lacquer finish, so it looks tidy at the barn without the bulk of an old-style helmet.
A dial-adjusted fit system lets you snug the helmet down once it is on, and the fully adjustable 4-point harness helps keep it seated where it belongs. The flexible brim gives a little shade from the sun and is designed to help absorb impact energy in a fall.
Inside, the plastic shell is backed by expanded polystyrene, and the removable polyester liner is machine washable, which makes a real difference after a summer of sweaty rides. Airflow through the shell keeps things more comfortable on warm days. Choose from black, blue, pink or purple in three size ranges.
