riding hat

Mounted sport protection

A riding hat is a protective helmet worn for horseback riding, designed to shield the head during falls.

Traditional styles feature a velvet-covered hard shell with a small brim, though modern versions prioritize safety certifications over appearance.

In competitive equestrian events, specific styles may be required: She adjusted her riding hat before entering the ring.
