Crafted in France in the Antarès workshops, this helmet is the culmination of technical research combined with refined aesthetics.

If you’re looking for a premium riding helmet, this model is sure to meet all your expectations.
Exemplary, certified, and modern protection
At the heart of the Référence black/black helmet lies a central ambition: to provide every rider with uncompromising protection, whatever their skill level or discipline. The entirely matte outer shell uses “in-mold” technology, fusing the outer shell and inner foam to create a structure that is both lightweight and perfectly impact-resistant. This helmet has been rigorously tested and has successfully passed the strictest international standards: ASTM F1163-15, EN1384-2017, and VG1 01.040 2014-12. These certifications guarantee the helmet’s ability to absorb the energy of an impact while minimizing the transmission of vibrations to the head.
Special attention was given to the visor, which truly serves as an active safety feature. Thanks to its deliberately flexible design, it bends under stress, thus minimizing the risk of facial injury in the event of a fall. This flexibility complies with European regulations and provides riders with extra peace of mind, as the visor simply returns to its original shape after being manipulated.
Customized comfort and optimal hygiene
The Antarès Référence black/black helmet goes beyond protection; it is designed to be forgotten, even during the most intense sessions. The interior features interchangeable and washable pads, certified OEKO-TEX®. This certification means that every textile material has been rigorously checked and guaranteed free from substances harmful to health. The foam offers not only a plush feel but also exceptional management of moisture and heat.
Each rider can perfectly adjust the helmet size to the shape of their head thanks to the system of pads in different thicknesses, ensuring a stable and custom fit. The soft chinstrap comfortably hugs the contours of the face and chin, guaranteeing secure hold and freedom of movement without pressure points. Thanks to their removability, the inner foams can be washed easily, ensuring impeccable hygiene day after day.
Advanced ventilation for lasting comfort
Because a high-performance helmet must remain pleasant to wear throughout physical effort, the Référence model was designed with a top priority: to efficiently ventilate the head. Its system of four front vents ensures constant airflow inside the shell. Cool air enters easily, expelling heat and humidity, ensuring that the rider stays cool even on the hottest days or during intense work. The ingeniously designed vents—discreet and integrated into the shell—contribute to the helmet’s refined and understated spirit while maintaining efficiency.
Pure aesthetics and elegant sobriety
The Antarès Référence black/black helmet is the embodiment of timeless style. Its fully matte shell provides a look that is both modern and classic, accentuated by chrome details that highlight its understated elegance. This refined minimalism makes it a helmet suited to every environment, from the arena to the competition ring, and pairs harmoniously with all outfits, from classic to contemporary.
Versatility and easy adaptation
This helmet is designed to adapt to all equestrian situations. From classical disciplines—dressage, jumping, hunter rings—to outdoor riding, it provides reliable performance and outstanding versatility. It is available in a wide range of sizes, from 53 to 61, to fit every body type. Its matte finish is highly resistant to signs of wear, so it maintains its new appearance ride after ride.
Everyday safety: foresight & durability
By choosing the Antarès Référence black/black helmet, riders are investing in equipment made to last. The robust outer shell, paired with the easy removal of the pads, ensures greater longevity and straightforward maintenance. CE marking and SEI certification guarantee the helmet’s traceability and quality control throughout the production chain.
From the first fitting to everyday use, every detail has been optimized to cater to the practical needs of riders: quick-release chinstrap, flexible yet sturdy visor, replaceable foam, and a weight designed to limit fatigue during long sessions in the arena or while out hacking. Fans of equestrian helmets appreciate the balance between comfort and efficiency.
The Antarès Référence black/black helmet is where technical performance, comfort, and minimalist design meet. Choose peace of mind now and in the long run, for every moment in the saddle.
