Maximum protection and ingenuity made in italy
At a time when a helmet is more than a simple accessory, the KEP Smart Matt Black embodies the new generation of helmets designed to meet the expectations of today’s riders. Behind its modern and clean lines lies a highly technical structure engineered to absorb and dissipate impact energy with utmost discretion:
- Lightweight and ultra-resistant ABS shell: Molded to withstand impacts while remaining exceptionally light, its robust design provides the best level of safety for regular riders.
- Dual safety certification: Compliant with European standard VG1 01.040 2014-12 and US ASTM F1163 / 2015 requirements, the KEP Smart Matt ticks all the boxes of the world’s most stringent tests—a guarantee of reliable protection in all situations.
- Ventilated front grille with steel mesh guard: Not only elegant, this grille provides effective protection against debris and ensures continuous airflow, never compromising on safety.
Ventilation technology and ergonomic comfort
One of the Smart Matt Black’s biggest strengths is its unmatched comfort, no matter the discipline or duration of your ride. Thanks to the KEP Air Control System, temperature management is optimal: heat and sweat are evacuated via a sophisticated channel system directly integrated into the polystyrene, ensuring both airflow and lasting freshness—even during summer training sessions.
The five-point synthetic leather chin strap is hypoallergenic and supple, perfectly conforming to the shape of the face to prevent irritation or discomfort, while the multipoint fixation distributes forces evenly in the event of a fall. This precise fit is complemented by Coolmax® interior padding with memory foam: designed to adjust to every morphology, it is removable and easily washable by hand or machine at 30°C, making it easy to keep your helmet spotless and hygienic over time.
Customisable elegance and freedom of movement
The understated and refined style of the Smart Matt Black helmet captures the essence of Italian equestrian aesthetics: modern lines, a deep matte finish that matches any outfit, and a flexible standard visor that hugs the contours of every face effortlessly. This model is the versatile partner for all your equestrian goals. Whatever your profile—amateur or competitive rider—its compact form and immaculate finish guarantee a stable fit, free from undue pressure or discomfort, even after several hours.
Since every head is unique, two types of liners are available: the European liner (ideal for round heads) and the American liner (more comfortable for oval heads). For even greater uniqueness, the Smart Black can also be personalised by airbrush or other techniques—upon request—allowing each rider to express their individual style right down to the details.
A versatile helmet for every discipline
Designed to suit every equestrian pursuit—dressage, show jumping, cross-country, or hacking—the KEP Smart Matt Black is crafted to accompany riders in their progress over time. Its mixed cut and extensive size range make it the natural choice whether you are looking for a reliable first helmet or seeking a high-end alternative at a controlled price.
This helmet bravely faces all daily challenges thanks to its durable finish and robustness. Breathability, lightness, custom ventilation system: so many features that undoubtedly place it among the most sought-after equestrian helmets in its category, while maintaining the exclusivity of 100% Italian manufacturing.
