Give your young rider the very best in safety and style with the Keppy Black Matte Children's Helmet - KEP. Imagined, designed, and manufactured in Italy by the master craftsmen of KEP Italia, this lightweight and adaptable helmet grows with your child, ensuring comfort and outstanding protection at every stage. A true concentration of innovation for the youngest riders, it puts cutting-edge technology at the service of timeless, understated elegance. This model is a benchmark among children's riding helmets thanks to its exclusive features.
Maximum protection, designed for kids
The KEPPY has been specially developed to meet the needs and anatomy of young riders. Its sturdy outer shell, crafted from Italian-engineered ABS, perfectly envelops the head and ensures unbeatable resistance against impacts, whether at the riding school or on a trail ride. Its multi-density polystyrene core absorbs and dissipates the energy from any shock, guaranteeing skull integrity even in the most unexpected situations.
This helmet is not just a shield—it’s a promise of reliability. Certified VG1 01.040 2014-12 and ASTM F1163/2015, it meets the strictest requirements for equestrian safety both in France and internationally. The ISO 9001 certification from KEP Italia adds an extra guarantee of excellence and meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Lightweight, ventilated, and always comfortable
To make wearing equipment enjoyable, the Keppy Black Matte Helmet emphasizes absolute lightness: weighing just ±415g, it’s barely noticeable so your child can focus on their passion. Its cleverness lies in the patented KEP AIR CONTROL SYSTEM: a network of built-in ventilation channels within the polystyrene, combined with a front grid that is both functional and stylish, ensures optimal airflow around the head. Your child stays cool, even after a full day of activities or on hot summer days.
The comfort does not stop there: the interior padding, made from memory foam Coolmax® using eco-friendly materials, gently conforms to every shape and offers softness, breathability, and adaptation to perspiration. Removable, it can be machine washed at 30°C or by hand, guaranteeing perfect hygiene and a long life for the equipment.
Grows with your child: an adjustable helmet, easy to maintain
The key innovation of the KEPPY is its adaptive concept: the helmet adjusts to your child's growth thanks to a system of interchangeable padding. No need to buy a new helmet for every size change—simply swap out the inner foam to follow your child’s development, from size 49 to 53.
The 4-point hypoallergenic nylon chinstrap keeps the helmet securely in place without ever irritating the skin, while the adjustable closure system ensures both safety and independence for your child: they can easily fasten or unfasten the helmet themselves with full confidence. Carefully selected materials prevent pressure points and minimize the risk of allergies, ensuring comfortable extended wear and respect for delicate younger skin.
Personalisation and design: stand out in style
KEP Italia also recognises the pride of belonging and the joy of wearing a helmet that truly reflects the child. The Black Matte finish complements all outfits, while each Keppy also stands out thanks to its modern design: an elegant ventilation grid, customisable with color accents or contrasting finishes, allows everyone to express their style.
The standard visor, flexible and interchangeable, can easily be replaced or removed without tools, thanks to a unique system designed by KEP Italia. The same goes for certain inserts, removable and customisable at will to follow fashions or the mood of the moment. For the most creative, the KEPPY is compatible with airbrush or other artisanal customisation techniques: truly, every helmet can become unique.
Who is the keppy helmet for?
The Keppy Black Matte is the ideal choice for all young beginners discovering riding, as well as for those who practice regularly—at the club, at home, or in competition. Thanks to its versatile design, it’s perfect for pony riding, outdoor riding, dressage, show jumping, or even equestrian games. Whether your child heads out for a hack, rides in the arena, or explores cross-country, the Keppy offers protection without ever limiting their freedom of movement or enthusiasm.
The wide adjustment range and selection of specific sizes ensure a suitable fit for every body shape, for boys and girls alike.
