This low profile helmet from Britian is covered with luxurious Italian velvet. Features a gently rounded peak, an adjustable, nylon-reinforced deerskin harness, gold satin lining and a rich black velour headband. Respects traditional equestrian fashions while meeting today’s safety standards. ASTM/SEI approved.

Charles Owen recommends to replace your helmet after 5 years of use, (Which is approx. 2000 hours of riding) not from the manufacturing date. It is the sweat and the occasional drop that reduces a helmets safety level. . So, a helmet that is worn regularly will deteriorate faster than one used only an hour a week. A helmet kept in air conditioned storage would be ideal as it will be kept cool and dry (e.g. Like a Retail Store).
