Exxential 3 helmet - Uvex

Treat yourself to excellence in equestrian safety with the Uvex Exxential 3 helmet. A true concentration of technology, this helmet redefines the standards of protection, comfort, and versatility, ideal for casual riders, discerning enthusiasts, and regular competitors alike. The fruit of German expertise and Uvex innovation, the Exxential 3 stands out as an essential ally for your riding, giving you total confidence with every stride. Whether you're looking for a reliable and innovative riding helmet or a model suited to all your needs, this is an outstanding choice.

Maximum safety & unrivalled protection

Beneath its refined lines lies an exceptional structure designed to meet the most demanding protection requirements. Its outer shell is made from highly resistant polycarbonate, forming a solid barrier against shocks and impacts. Inside, the Exxential 3 features a multi-density EPS foam shell. This material effectively absorbs and dissipates impact force, reducing the risk of head injuries in the event of a fall.

The back of the helmet has been subtly extended to further cover the nape and lower skull—critical areas often exposed. This design choice optimizes the rider's safety, whether for daily rides, training sessions, or competitions.

Certified to European standard EN 1384:2023, this helmet complies with the latest regulations for equestrian activities. Each component is rigorously tested to guarantee protection that meets the highest standards, ensuring you peace of mind in every discipline.

A design crafted for ultimate comfort

Because a protective helmet should never detract from the joy of riding, the Exxential 3 combines lightness with ergonomic design. Weighing just 400 grams, it stands as one of the most discreet models on the market—letting you wear it for long sessions without discomfort or fatigue.

Its deep cut offers a secure and enveloping fit, while still giving great freedom of movement for the neck and shoulders. Special attention has also been given to compatibility with long hair: the shell’s shape accommodates a ponytail or low bun without pressure points or imbalance.

For year-round comfort, the Exxential 3 helmet uses an ingenious ventilation system. Wide ventilation channels run throughout the shell to ensure optimal airflow and minimize heat buildup—even on the hottest days or during intensive effort.

Precise fit & innovative adjustment systems

Proper helmet stability is essential for maximum protection. Uvex equips the Exxential 3 with exclusive solutions for a fast, personalized, and precise fit:

• UVEX 3D IAS System: Easily adjust the helmet's height and width using the dial at the back. This system enables millimeter-precise adjustment for every head shape, children and adults alike.
• FAS Harness (Fast Adapting System): Side straps stay perfectly fitted against the cheeks and under the chin, providing secure stability even during vigorous movement or a fall.
• Monomatic Closure: Equipped with a practical push button, it opens and closes with one hand—a valuable safety feature for quick gearing up without losing control of the horse. Several tightening positions allow a perfect fit for every rider's morphology.

The combination of these technologies makes the Uvex Exxential 3 a helmet you can adjust in seconds, that won’t slip, won’t restrict you… and that you’ll forget about while riding.

Elegance and versatility for all your riding

Sleek and modern, the Exxential 3 helmet features clean lines and a timeless Black finish, suited for every riding style: dressage, jumping, flatwork, or hacking out. Its unisex design works for both men and women and comes in a wide range of sizes, from children to adults.

Every detail is carefully crafted: refined finishes, hypoallergenic comfort foam that's easily removable for cleaning, and shell paints and materials known for their durability. Each helmet is made in Germany, the heartland of Uvex excellence, guaranteeing reliability and longevity even with regular use.

Thanks to its great versatility, the Exxential 3 is as ideal for young club riders and leisurely hacks as it is for competitors seeking the perfect balance between maximum safety and discreet appearance.
