How to fit:

1. Place the helmet on the head and hold roughly 1cm above the eyebrow, at its loosest setting.
2. Whilst holding the peak in place, begin to slowly tighten the dial fixing at the back of the helmet until secure. Please tighten your dial-fit carefully. Over-tightening of the dial-fit mechanism when the helmet is being worn may cause the dial to lock. If this occurs, simply remove the helmet and release the dial.
3. Check the fit by gently pulling down on the peak or front of the helmet. The skin above the eyebrows should move with the motion of the helmet if it fits correctly. Independent movement from the helmet is an indication the helmet is too big or the dial is not fastened tight enough.
4. Due to the dial-fit securing the helmet at the base of the skull (occipital ridge), consistent contact around the perimeter of the helmet is not necessary.
5. The chin strap should fit just under the chin and gently touch the bottom of the ear lobe, avoiding the throat.
6. One finger’s width should be between the chin and the chin strap. The gap between the chin and the chin strap indicates how far the helmet could move in an accident. When doing the chin strap up, place your finger between the strap and your chin to ensure you don’t pinch.
7. Before removing the helmet, you should undo the dial. This helps prevent unnecessary stress on the dial fixing and ensures you are securing it correctly with every wear.

Keep it fresh:

Refresh your EQx helmet by replacing its removable liner headband.

We offer two headband styles for any EQx helmet: Standard Replacement Headband and 2.0 Replacement Headband.

The NEW 2.0 replacement headband offers enhanced comfort and improved fit. Find out more information below.

Both EQx headbands fit any EQx by Charles Owen helmet. Check your size (as on your current headband label).

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.

Use a soft fabric measuring tape marked in centimetres (cm).

Wrap the tape around the widest part of your head: about one inch above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.

This helmet provides a standard depth fit for any head shape using a dial-fit system.

Follow our fitting guide if you are unsure of your helmet fit and head shape.

Contact our friendly customer services team with any queries.

This helmet features a removable headband which can be handwashed and left to air dry.

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.
