Horseback riders of any discipline, including endurance riders, need to have riding helmets as part of their safety gear. A properly ventilated riding helmet, that fits well, can protect the rider’s head against injury from falls or other accidents. It can be hard to choose the right riding helmet for endurance riding, with so many options. This article will give you an overview of some important considerations when purchasing a riding helmet for endurance riding.
Safety

You should look for helmets with large vents that keep your head cool and adjustable ventilation ports that can be closed or opened depending on the weather.
Weight

A helmet should meet or exceed safety standards, have adjustable ventilation ports, be lightweight, come in a variety of colors, designs, and fit within the budget of the rider.
