Push the boundaries of safety and elegance with the 4S First Lady TLS blue helmet by GPA, an icon of protection that embodies the excellence of French expertise in the equestrian world. Designed for riders who refuse to choose between style and safety, this instantly recognizable model features revolutionary 4-layer technology and meticulous design for top performance on every surface and in every discipline. Whether on the showground or during training, it sets the new standard for high-performance, refined equestrian helmet.
The benchmark in multi-layer protection: gpa’s 4s technology
At the heart of the 4S First Lady TLS lies pioneering technology born from GPA innovation: the 4S (4 Shield) concept—four complementary layers working in synergy to absorb, dissipate, and slow the force of impacts. Far more than a mere stacking of materials, this patented system delivers maximum protection to the skull against every type of impact a rider might face. This is engineering in the service of safety:
- First layer – The outer shell in injected polymer, available in gloss or matte finish, forms a tough and stylish shield against blunt and sharp objects.
- Second layer – High-density EVA foam absorbs the energy from direct impacts, cushioning the force and spreading it over a wider area, thus limiting transmission to the inner layers.
- Third layer – Inner shell in fiberglass-reinforced polymer for enhanced resistance to lateral compression and penetration.
- Fourth layer – EPS expanded polystyrene liner, a structure designed to absorb the final shockwave, effectively protecting the skull and preventing brain injuries.
Next-generation safety: anticipate the unexpected, stay protected
Because in equestrian sports, every detail counts in reducing risk, GPA developed this unique 4-layer technology to guarantee comprehensive head protection. The result? Proven effectiveness in both laboratory tests and the field, with superior resistance to frontal, lateral, rear, and oblique impacts.
The internal structure of the 4S First Lady TLS blue ensures excellent energy dissipation upon both high- and low-intensity impacts, exactly where traditional helmets may show their limits. The helmet’s carefully engineered rigidity, refined shell, and precisely calibrated density of each layer deliver a maximum reduction in the risk of serious injury: a major breakthrough for riders aiming to take their safety to the next level.
Support is enhanced by a rigid TLS chin strap (Twin Lock System), GPA’s signature, providing flawless stability even during sudden movements or a fall, preventing the helmet from slipping.
High-precision comfort and freedom of movement: forget you're wearing it
At GPA, safety should never come at the expense of comfort. The 4S First Lady TLS helmet embodies this philosophy. Its controlled weight and optimized balance prevent discomfort, even during prolonged wear. The internal padding is lined with soft, breathable fabrics, and its ventilated structure ensures excellent airflow, mitigating overheating during intense effort or under the summer sun.
The signature wide visor, specifically designed for the female face, not only adds a unique touch of elegance but also provides effective protection for the face against weather and sun, without compromising peripheral vision. Whether in competition, training, or out on a ride, you enjoy total freedom of movement and exceptional visibility.
Precise adjustment is at the heart of the design: the helmet is available in a wide range of sizes from 53 to 61, allowing every rider to find the perfect fit. The TLS closure guarantees a secure fit, preventing micro-movements that could affect safety or comfort.

Its navy-blue shell, available in gloss or matte finish, matches classic riding outfits just as well as more daring looks.
