Revolutionary 4-layer protection
Beneath its streamlined lines, the 4S Speed Air Hybrid Black houses a unique safety system, the fruit of GPA’s research. Its structure is built on the exclusive 4 Shields (4S) principle, four separate layers working in synergy to give you the ultimate cranial protection in the event of a fall:
- Injected polymer outer shell: Engineered to withstand direct impacts and punctures, it acts as an armor against blunt objects, greatly reducing penetration risk without adding unnecessary weight.
- High-density EVA foam: Its mission: dissipate impact energy. Sitting beneath the outer shell, this intermediate layer absorbs and disperses most shock waves, preventing their intensity from directly reaching your head.
- Internal reinforcement in injected polymer/glass fiber: The third barrier increases the helmet’s structural strength, enhancing protection against secondary impacts and serving as a secondary defense against sharp or piercing objects.
- Expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner: Placed right next to your head, it completes the absorption of residual energy from a shock, minimizing force transmission to the skull and protecting the cranium from severe trauma.
With its smart multi-layered design, the 4S Speed Air Hybrid sets new standards in shock wave absorption and dissipation, ensuring truly reinforced safety in all your equestrian activities.
The benefits of signature gpa expertise
For over forty years, GPA has shaped the landscape of riding helmets in France by combining elegance with safety. The 4S Speed Air Hybrid Black embodies the brand’s expertise: every material has been selected for its absorption capacity and real-world effectiveness, without compromise on strength or weight. This helmet thus delivers shock resistance, long-lasting use, and premium finish – whether you choose a glossy or matte version, you’ll be sporting gear worthy of the highest demands.
Absolute comfort and optimal breathability
Wearing a high-performance helmet should rhyme with pleasure and forgetting it’s there. Thanks to a network of multiple strategically placed ventilation channels throughout the shell, the Speed Air Hybrid 4S helmet ensures constant air circulation. This optimal airflow limits perspiration even during intense effort or hot weather, greatly increasing overall comfort in prolonged sessions.
The inner liner, made from hypoallergenic and breathable materials, naturally conforms to the shape of your head. It is removable and washable, ensuring perfect hygiene and a fresh feeling every time you ride.
Precise fit and freedom of movement
No matter your discipline or head shape, the GPA 4S Speed Air Hybrid helmet is designed for a reliable and personalized fit. The flexible chinstrap adjusts precisely under the chin, keeping the helmet perfectly in place without hindering mobility or speech. The wide range of sizes – from 53 to 61 – as well as the standard visor guarantee comprehensive protection tailored to every rider, for a truly custom experience each time you ride out.
Its ergonomic shape has been developed to provide complete peripheral vision and uninhibited movement, whether you’re working flat, jumping, or hacking out. Once on, you’ll barely notice it – allowing you to focus on your ride and the joy of being in the saddle.
A unique design, signature of excellence
Instantly recognizable for its modern lines and signature ventilation grill, the 4S Speed Air Hybrid Black is far more than a protective accessory: it's a standout element of your equestrian style. Choose between glossy or matte finishes to match your personality, while the timeless black touch goes perfectly with all your outfits, from competitions to leisure riding.
