Charles Owen J3 Helmet

The harness extends to the nape of the neck providing a snug and secure fit. The Charles Owen name is inscribed across it, and an easy release/quick fasten, black plastic clip is situated on the left hand side.

The supersoft headband is embedded with silver ions for built in antimicrobial protection.

Reinforced ventilation holes enable the head to stay cool and the Microfit technology ensures an unrivalled fit to the head.

The J3 comes complete with its own matt black vented silk, which is embroidered with the Charles Owen Logo.

Kitemarked to PAS015 and BSEN1384 also certified by SEI to ASTM F1163 in sizes 1 - 4.

Riding Hat Standards:
BSEN1384: 1997 - This standard replaced both the Riding Hat and Jockey Skull British Standards. It is exactly the same as EN1384: 1996 published by the Centre for European Normes in Brussels. This European Standard is a major leap forward over previous British standards. Although the height from which helmets are dropped has been reduced, injury to the brain has been reduced by nearly 40%, an bottom edge protection is now required. Chin cups are no longer allowed.

PAS015: 1998 - With the official publication of EN1384, certain differences occurred between PAS015 and EN:1384 which were not forseen in 1994. This revision removes those differences as well as addressing new areas of protection which existed in most approved PAS015 models. Namely, crush resistance and prevention of brain injury where landing on an edged surface. Due to initial problems with more rigid, chin-cup-less helmets, a stability test is included to limit excessive movement during wearing, or a fall. Most British organisations recommend this level of protection.

ASTM: F1163 - This is a U.S. Standard the main differences being helmets are allowed larger ventilation slots and they are tested with a greater impact, but the allowed injury is also greater.

The Kitemark - The Kitemark is the registered trademark of the BSI and can only be affixed to products certified by them as meeting and being continually tested to the required standard.

SEI - This is an American organisation, similar to BSI, which was set up to endorse the products that meet the claimed standard and that which is constently maintained.
