Advanced protection for optimal safety
The Precision Reference helmet was engineered to provide superior protection during horseback riding. Its outer shell is made from thick ABS, a material known for its robustness and exceptional resistance to impacts. This rigid shell acts as a primary barrier, effectively dispersing the energy from blows while being surprisingly lightweight and scratch-resistant, maintaining the helmet’s appearance over time.
Additionally, the inner liner made of EPS (expanded polystyrene) absorbs residual energy in case of a fall, thanks to its ability to compress under impact. This material duo forms a synergy that maximizes rider safety while maintaining the comfort and lightness needed for all disciplines.
Inside the helmet, ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) is incorporated in the form of blue honeycomb pads. These not only distribute impact energy, but also help limit head rotation in sudden movements, thereby reducing the risk of serious cranial trauma in the event of a fall.
Smart ventilation and thermal comfort
Horseback riding demands equipment that can adapt to exertion and various weather conditions. Understanding this need, Antarès has equipped the Precision Reference with a highly efficient ventilation system. No fewer than 11 ventilation openings, strategically positioned around the shell, ensure a continuous flow of air. Two vents at the front and two at the back enhance this airflow, efficiently removing heat and perspiration—even during the most intense sessions.
To complete this system, discreet ventilation channels located under the visor bring fresh air directly to the forehead. This ensures constant thermal comfort, reducing overheating and heat-related stress so you can stay fully focused, no matter the effort required.
Ergonomics, fit, and premium finishes
The Precision Reference helmet is not only the pinnacle of technology—it was also developed for intuitive, personalized fit. Inside, a liner made from high-density foam, soft lycra, and 2D mesh ensures pleasant contact against the head and reliable hold. Easily removable, it provides impeccable hygiene, as it can be quickly washed between uses.
The harness, combining soft leather and durable nylon, features a three-point Y-shaped attachment for flawless stability—even during the most dynamic movement. Elastic sections at the back increase comfort, especially for riders with long or tied-up hair.
The quick fastening is effortless thanks to the "Fidlock" magnetic buckle, allowing you to secure or remove the helmet with one hand, even while wearing gloves. The polyamide strap further enhances overall safety, providing double protection at the chin strap.
Every finish has been carefully selected: the matte black shell and tone-on-tone accessories give a sleek, elegant look while minimizing wear marks and disturbing reflections. The standard, flexible visor effectively shields from the sun and bends on impact to reduce the risk of facial injury—without restricting the rider’s field of vision.
Technology, versatility, and certified safety
With a preference for innovation in the service of safety, Antarès incorporates ERT technology in this model, providing an extra barrier against accidental rotational movement of the head. This advanced protection is paired with a design that omits the MIPS system, resulting in optimal lightness while delivering maximum protection, fully compliant with the latest European standards.
The Precision Reference helmet is certified to the EN1384-2023 standard, confirming its high level of shock prevention and build quality. You benefit from reliable, thoroughly tested equipment meeting the most up-to-date standards.
Thanks to its versatile fit, this helmet is suitable for all riders: whether you practice jumping, dressage, groundwork, or trail riding, it accommodates your needs and head shape with a wide range of available sizes. Just as practical for daily use as it is attractive for competitions, it makes safety a matter of style, too.
