Treat yourself to an equestrian experience where safety goes hand in hand with high standards and elegance. The 4S Speed Air TLS Black Helmet from GPA is the result of a quest: to bring the best protection technology to passionate riders. Behind its sleek and modern design, this riding helmet gathers the latest innovations so that every rider can combine peace of mind, comfort, and style during their daily performances.
4s technology: the art of multi-layered protection
Forget traditional single-shell helmets. The 4S Speed Air TLS relies on a four-layer architecture, each one designed to respond to a specific impact scenario. This patented system offers an unprecedented level of absorption and dispersion of impacts, while ensuring active defense against the often-overlooked risks of lateral shocks:
- First layer: Injected polymer outer shell. Acting as a true shield, it confronts blunt objects and absorbs the initial wave of energy upon violent contact, limiting the propagation of shock waves to the head.
- Second layer: High-density EVA foam. This acts as a dynamic barrier. Its compact cell structure absorbs much of the residual energy, reducing the force of the impact before it reaches the inner layers.
- Third layer: Glass fiber-reinforced injected polymer. This structural reinforcement greatly enhances the helmet’s strength. It deflects and dissipates transversal forces, while providing additional protection against the penetration of sharp objects.
- Fourth layer: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) inner liner. This light, highly absorbent material dissipates the remaining shock wave. Thanks to this technological alliance, the skull and brain benefit from maximum protection against traumatic injuries.
Optimal protection and proven resistance
This helmet is not just easy on the eye. It has passed the rigorous requirements of the European standards (EN1384-2017) specific to horse riding, confirming its effectiveness at absorbing both vertical and lateral shocks as well as its capacity to resist compression and penetration. The 4S system ensures superior energy dissipation compared to standard helmets, better protecting sensitive areas of the skull during unexpected riding accidents.
Its impressive performance takes on full meaning at critical moments, helping to safeguard the rider's physical integrity while reducing the risk of serious injuries, thanks to a progressive, layer-by-layer isolation from the initial impact to the head.
High-precision comfort and personalized fit
Safety should never come at the expense of comfort: that’s the credo of the Speed Air TLS helmet. GPA has developed an ergonomic shape that perfectly hugs the head’s contours without any pressure points, even during long sessions or repeated effort. The inner pads, covered with antibacterial fabric, are fully removable for easy washing, ensuring impeccable hygiene with every use.
The TLS (Thermo Lock System) adjustment system guarantees a perfect fit: the rear adjustment wheel allows for instant and precise adjustment, keeping the helmet firmly in place for stable wear in all situations—never compromising your freedom of movement.
Large front and side vents ensure optimal air circulation, reducing any feeling of moisture even during intense training sessions or under the sun. Comfort is always maintained, whatever the weather.
Refined design, versatility, and elegance
Choosing the 4S Speed Air TLS Black is a statement of taste for exceptional gear: its taut lines, matte or glossy finishes, and timeless black color blend seamlessly with any riding outfit. This helmet is available in a wide range of sizes (from 53 to 61), allowing every rider to find the perfect match for their head shape.
The standard visor, both understated and efficient, provides optimal protection against the sun and flying debris while ensuring perfect visibility. Its shell, both robust and lightweight, never strains the neck: you stay focused on your sensations and your communication with your horse.
