Discover a new standard of safety in horse riding with the 4S Speed Air Hybrid Blue Helmet - GPA. Known for its bold and sporty design, this helmet combines unprecedented technological innovation with understated elegance, highlighted by its navy blue finish. Designed to meet the highest demands in performance and comfort, it supports every rider through their greatest challenges, from arena work to top-level competition, all while asserting a distinctive style. The integration of the exclusive 4-layer protection technology makes the 4S Speed Air Hybrid helmet a pioneering model for equestrian head protection. This model stands out as a key reference among the new generation of riding helmets.
Multi-impact safety with 4-layer architecture
The GPA 4S Speed Air Hybrid helmet leaves nothing to chance. Every design element is aimed at optimizing energy dissipation during a fall to ensure complete head protection. Its architecture is based on a careful layering and assembly of selected materials:
- 1st layer: The outer shell, made of high-performance injected polymer, serves as the first safeguard against sharp or pointed objects. Its capacity to deform or break helps absorb a significant amount of impact energy, limiting the force transmitted towards the inside.
- 2nd layer: A high-density EVA foam insert takes over, acting as an excellent shock absorber for secondary micro-impacts. This ultra-compressible foam interrupts the path of shockwaves and protects the entire skull area from the propagation of energy.
- 3rd layer: Under the foam, a second shell—this time made of glass fiber-reinforced injected polymer—provides an extra level of safety. It absorbs the remaining energy while offering an added barrier against perforation, doubling the helmet’s capacity to withstand even the most severe accidents.
- 4th layer: Finally, the inner liner made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) completes shock wave absorption. Specially calibrated to protect the cranium, it drastically reduces the risk of injury, even in the case of serious falls.
This multi-impact protection process has been proven both in laboratories and out in the field, securing all critical areas of the head, especially those prone to lateral or asymmetrical impacts.
Sporty design and optimal comfort
Safety must go hand in hand with impeccable comfort: the GPA 4S Speed Air Hybrid excels in this area as well. Its compact profile hugs the shape of the head smoothly, allowing the helmet to be forgotten even during extended sessions. Large ventilation openings are strategically placed to channel a maximum airflow, reducing heat build-up and maintaining an ideal temperature in any season.
The interior lining, soft and hypoallergenic, is designed to minimize sweat and irritation. Easily removable and washable, it ensures perfect hygiene with every use.
The fit is ultra-precise thanks to a range of available sizes and a flexible adjustment strap at the chin. Whether you’re an amateur or a seasoned rider, stability and comfort are guaranteed—even during sudden movements. Its standard-sized visor is designed to broaden the field of vision while gently shielding eyes from the sun or branches.
Innovation and compliance with modern standards
Born of a drive for continuous innovation, the 4S Speed Air Hybrid helmet incorporates technical solutions that redefine head protection for equestrian sports: the unique combination of materials, the double shell, and the carefully calibrated density of the EVA foam are the result of years of research and development. The entire helmet undergoes strict testing that simulates extreme impact conditions to validate its absorption ability and structural resistance.
It complies with the latest European safety standards for horse riding, ensuring that the wearer benefits from state-of-the-art technology in all equestrian settings.
A versatile helmet for every rider
The wide size range (from 53 to 61) allows every rider to find a fit that precisely matches their body shape, guaranteeing the full effectiveness of the protective features. Its modern design and two finishes (glossy or matte) allow for all stylistic preferences, with no compromise on performance.
Ideal for all disciplines, from daily training to the most demanding competitions, the blue Speed Air Hybrid is suited for intensive practice as well as leisure riding. Its robustness and light weight also make it the top choice for riders seeking high-end equipment that is easy to wear for long periods.
Details and care
Each 4S Speed Air Hybrid helmet is individually checked during manufacturing, in line with GPA’s quality standards. To extend its lifespan, it should be regularly cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth; the inner lining can be removed and washed to maintain optimum hygiene after each session. Caring for your helmet will preserve not only its performance but also its refined appearance.
