When optimal protection meets unique design, every horse ride becomes an experience where style, confidence, and peace of mind come together. As a high-tech French innovation, this helmet lives up to the reputation of GPA’s craftsmanship—a brand renowned for equestrian protection. Among the must-have riding gear, the riding helmet holds a key position in ensuring every rider’s safety and comfort.
4s innovation: the equestrian safety revolution
Where most helmets stick to a traditional structure, the 4S First Lady Hybrid pushes boundaries with its innovative design featuring four successive layers. Each layer works in synergy to maximize energy management in the event of impact and offers advanced protection against lateral compression—a nightmare for riders during falls or severe blows. The first outer shell, made from injected polymer, is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy from blunt impacts, thus preserving helmet integrity during hard contact. It’s intelligently engineered to deform or crack under extreme impact, initiating energy absorption right from the first blow.
The second layer, made of high-density EVA foam, then acts as a true shield: it absorbs and lessens some of the residual shockwaves, thereby limiting the energy transmitted to the rest of the helmet. This layer plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of impact towards the inner layers and the wearer’s skull.
The third line of defense is an internal cap made of injected polymer, this time reinforced with fiberglass. This dual-component provides both exceptional mechanical strength and energy absorption capabilities at a second level, while also offering extra protection against piercing objects.
For the final touch, the fourth layer—crafted from high-performance expanded polystyrene (EPS)—completes the absorption and dissipation of shockwaves. This ultimate barrier plays a decisive role in protecting the skull, greatly reducing the risk of head trauma in case of a fall.
Certified safety and strict standards
The First Lady Hybrid helmet has passed rigorous testing to comply with the latest European regulations on equestrian protection. Its 4S architecture ensures the best protection against multi-directional impacts—whether vertical, lateral, from projections, or collisions with hard or sharp objects. The materials chosen ensure long-lasting reliability, unaffected by time or exposure to elements such as rain, sun, or temperature changes—nothing hinders the helmet’s effectiveness, whether in winter or summer.
Haute couture comfort and exquisite finishes
A helmet is about more than just safety: it must move with you without getting in the way, while also enhancing your silhouette. Each component of the First Lady Hybrid is designed to harmoniously fit the feminine form. Its wide visor—a signature of the Lady range—not only offers effective sun protection but also frames the face with decidedly chic elegance, whether competing, schooling, or out for a relaxing ride.
Essential for everyday use, comfort here is ensured by an interior cap lined with soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic materials. The internal ventilation is precisely engineered to keep your head cool, even during intense physical effort or on hot summer days. The helmet’s precise size adjustments hug the contours of the head with no pressure points, providing a comfortably secure fit with no discomfort.
Available in glossy or matte finishes, in a stunning deep navy blue, it blends with your equestrian wardrobe with discreet refinement. Its supple chinstrap, designed to fit the curve of your chin without stiffness, completes the secure fit while maintaining full freedom of movement.
Natural versatility for all disciplines
Designed to excel across all riding disciplines, the 4S First Lady Hybrid meets the performance needs of riders, whether jumping, dressage, or enjoying a leisurely Sunday hack. With a wide range of sizes available (from 53 to 61), every head finds its perfect fit. And a noteworthy detail—it fits easily under any jacket or regular riding gear, even bulky winter accessories: nothing restricts your riding freedom.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, it is the must-have choice for those who want to combine style, comfort, and top-notch safety during their training and competitions.
