Proper Helmet Fit from www.ponyclub.org

HOW TO DETERMINE A
PROPER HELMET FIT


❑ Only an approved helmet with the SEI
seal verifying that it meets the current
ASTM Standard is allowable; no others
measure up to this standard 


❑ Purchase your helmet only from a
reputable tack store whose owner knows
how to advise and determine proper fit.


❑ The helmet must fit snugly and squarely
on your head. Excessive movement
forward or backward or side to side
indicates an improper fit.


❑ The harness is not to be used too snugly
to correct the improper fit of the helmet
itself.


❑ Hair, because it is slippery, should not be
used to make an improper fit seem better.


❑ Any significant accident in which the
head is hit resulting in a headache
demands re-testing of the helmet by the
manufacturer and/or purchase of a new
helmet.


❑ Helmets don’t last forever, it is
recommended that a new helmet be
purchased if the helmet is older than 5-6
years of age.


❑ ALWAYS wear your helmet when
mounted or longeing.
