Sizing
The My Halo comes with a luxury removable headband sized in individual sizes (cm). The headband fits within the main shell of the riding helmet, which comes in small, medium, medium round and large. Round fit sizing is available in 55cm to 59cm.
The medium and medium round shell is available in wide peak (Medium Luxe).
The headband can be used to change the size of the helmet or to refresh the fit back to a snug ‘out of the box’ feeling.
For example, a 56cm headband can be removed from a medium shell and replaced with a new 56cm liner, or replaced with a 57cm, 58cm, 55cm medium, 59cm medium to ‘resize’ the helmet.
This also allows you to choose whether to wear your hair inside or outside the helmet, as you have the flexibility to switch headbands of different sizes using the same helmet.
As worn by Charles Owen team rider Gemma Owen.
This helmet provides a standard depth fit for a standard oval head shape. This helmet does feel deeper due to the luxurious neck pad on the headband in conjunction with the lattice harness. We also offer this helmet as a round fit in sizes 55cm – 59cm.
Before ordering this helmet, please follow our fitting guide if you are unsure of your helmet fit and head shape.
It’s really important you measure your head properly to ensure the correct size. We cannot guarantee that you will be the same size as you are in another helmet.
Contact our friendly customer services team with any queries.
This helmet features a removable headband which can be washed at 30°C.
Helmets should be stored at ambient temperature out of direct sunlight. Never leave your hat in a hot car or in direct sunlight. This helmet is designed to absorb some for the energy of a blow by partial destruction of the shell or protective padding material or both.
This damage may not be visible and therefore any helmet which suffers an impact should be discarded and replaced by a new one.
Keeping a riding helmet fresh through regular cleaning will prevent odours and mould developing inside the headband and ultimately prolong the life of your helmet. It is really important to use cleaning products that are specially formulated for use inside a riding helmet. This helmet should not be dry cleaned, exposed to solvents, or put in the washing machine/dishwasher.
Make no modifications to the helmet.

PLEASE READ THESE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY OF THIS HELMET.
- Make sure that the helmet is the correct size with a firm but comfortable fit. (WARNING) For children, never select a helmet that is too large on the basis that they will grow into it.
- Adjust the fit of the harness whilst wearing the helmet. Insert the buckle on the end of the chin strap into the clip on the harness. To tighten the chin-strap, pull the slack downwards through the buckle and then adjust the rear straps, until the helmet is firmly positioned on the head. If fitted with a draw lace, then adjust the lace at the back and knot securely until the helmet is firmly positioned on the head. To undo the chin strap, squeeze the two prongs on the buckle clip in towards each other to trigger the release mechanism.
- To fasten helmets with a metal hook and bar buckle, clip the free end over the hook. Slacken and tighten by means of the metal bar buckle, and position the ‘O’ ring up to the buckle. Press stud the leather above the hook if fitted. Adjust the lace at the back and knot securely. If the leather harness is fitted with an enclosed magnet tab, position the end clip over the hook. The magnet will clasp the hook and tab together.
- The helmet should not rock forwards or backwards excessively.
For adequate protection ensure that it is the correct size and fits snugly.
Helmets can move more on your head when riding. In order to ensure that the helmet remains in position during riding, adjust the retention system to ensure that the movement of the helmet on the head is minimal, both for front-to-rear and side-to-side movement This helmet maybe partially destroyed or damaged by a severe blow, even though such damage may not be readily apparent.
The helmet may, after receiving an impact, be damaged to the point that it is no longer adequate to protect the head against further impacts. Any helmet subjected to a severe impact should be replaced by a new one, as a subsequent impact may not give the wearer such adequate protection.
No headgear can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts and under certain conditions riding accidents can lead to death, serious injury and long term disability.
Helmets are not designed to protect the head in the event of crushing by a horse.
The materials used in this product do not cause skin disorders or are hazardous for the user health.
If you experience any reaction during the use of this helmet then you should stop using it.
Storage, Use, Cleaning, Maintenance, Servicing and Disinfection
Helmets should be stored at ambient temperature out of direct sunlight.
This helmet is designed to absorb some of the energy of a blow by partial destruction of the shell or protective padding material or both. This damage may not be visible and therefore any helmet which suffers an impact should be discarded and replaced by a new one.
This helmet should not be dry cleaned or exposed to solvents.
When to replace the helmet
Modern helmets do not deteriorate in a bag on the shelf. The helmet has a stored amount of protection which is used up when the head hits the ground; the damage will not be obvious in the majority of blows. A helmet should always be replaced if the rider has lost consciousness or suffered a severe headache after the blow. All other blows may have reduced the protection which may be required in the next fall. Remember the damage to the helmet is caused by the primary impact site and any contact with the horse. If a helmet has had no blows, then other factors should be considered: fit of the helmet, condition of the helmet, and out-of-date designs.
Care Instructions
A helmet is designed to be weaker than your head. Do not do things to the helmet that you would not do to your head. Do not subject the helmet to temperatures above 50oC or below -20oC. Do not store the helmet in direct sunlight.
Cleaning of the interior should be done using Charles Owen helmet cleaning products, foamed detergents or shampoo and water followed by vacuum drying the lining. It is important to use the minimum amount of water as helmets are difficult to dry and easily become mouldy. With any cleaning agent, it is important to try a small section to establish any allergic reaction. After riding, leave the helmet in a warm dry place overnight.
Do not dry in front of a fire or a radiator. Do not store it in a plastic bag before it is dry. This will reduce the risk of rusting the metal components. Mud on velvet is best left to dry and then brushed off. The pile of the fabric can be revived by holding the hat in steam from a boiling kettle (excluding Ayr8® Classic).

Accessories not approved by Charles Owen COMFG Ltd may affect the functionality and the performance of the helmet.

See “When to replace the helmet.” Under normal usage, a helmet will last between three and five years. If you use the product more frequently, then the helmet may need replacing more often.
