uvex exxential II MIPS Horse Riding Helmet for Women & Men - Adjustable Helmet with Integrated MIPS System

I initially bought this helmet because of the comfortable fit on my head the lightweight feel, and the excellent ventilation. It was a very comfortable helmet to wear. I recently had a catastrophic accident where I was thrown from my horse when a bed of deer leaped up almost underneath us. I broke my back in three places and am currently in a body brace for 8 weeks, however what I did NOT half was a head injury. I landed flat on my back, and I heard the helmet crack against the hard ground that I fell on. But I have never even had a tender spot on the back of my head. I am thankful that my head was one thing I never had to worry about during the assessment of my injuries. I will be buying another one of these!

I lease an horse and take lessons twice a week so I’m riding about 4 days a week. I wanted a helmet with the mips system and chose this one. On the THIRD time using this helmet, I accidentally took a head dive off the horse cantering over a cross rail and I landed on my forehead and face. I felt the helmet hit and my first thought was how grateful I was that I bought it. I suffered no head damage and have only some road rash on my face from the arena sand. The helmet is light weight and comfortable. I highly suggest it and am glad I got it when I did!

I ride a lot of different horses and needed head protection incase of a fall.It’s comfortable, airy and was easy to fit

Fits well, comfortable, like that it has MIPS system, good price

I was looking for a helmet with MIPS technology without breaking my bank when I came across this. This is a great helmet for the price. It has MIPS technology, is very lightweight, and I love the adjustable turn in the back to secure as needed. The only downside (for me) is the back and sides are kind of shallow, I’d like for them to come down further. I wonder if ever did fall and hit my head if this would protect the back enough or even the sides if I fell at an odd angle, which is likely when horseback riding. That is the only reason I’m deducting 1 star. Other than that, great value for an ACTUAL affordable riding helmet.

Very light, comfortable and protective. I don’t feel any weight when my horse is trotting or cantering. I don’t even feel I am wearing the helmet. I strongly recommend UVEX to any riders. Its helmets are professionally safe. I look cool with my helmet on. If possible, I would ask for sponsorship for my stable.

I am very pleased with this helmet. It is easy to adjust to size with the adjustment wheel in the back, and the chin strap is easy to click on and off. MIPS is not a must, but certainly an enhancement. This is a great helmet for a very good price.

Nice closure, very comfortable.
