Charles Owen is a brand steeped in history. Beginning life in 1911 as a manufacturer of military helmets, the company has a long reputation of producing quality safety wear for when protection can’t be compromised. As a supplier of helmets for solider throughout the First World War, they soon after expanded into producing protective headwear for motorsports. Inspired by founder Charles’ grandchildren’s interest in horse riding, the business saw an opportunity for developing a riding hat which put safety above all else.
Receiving its Royal Warrant in 1983 as the supplier of horse riding hats to the Royal Mews, Charles Owen has long been a staple of the equestrian world and renowned for its comfortable and correct fits. Fast forward to today and the brand remains and industry leader across all equine disciplines. For the eventing rider, a skull riding hat such as the Pro II Plus Jockey is a tack room must-have. This classic style jockey skull is a peak-less hat for cross country riding, and features the brand’s signature ventilation slots to help you stay cool and comfy.
For something with a little more shimmer and shine, a sparkly riding hat will get heads turning and bring some glamour and style to your equestrian safety wear. The YR8 sparkle riding hat is a cost-effective solution to bringing some bling into your riding wear. For something with a little more special, the Halo riding hat is a luxury riding helmet which has a unique metallic ring design which looks like a halo. With both matt and Halo gloss options available, this stunning hat will tick every box on a rider’s wish list.
The Charles Owen AYR8 is a style which instantly became a hit when it was worn by Charlotte Dujardin at the London 2012 Olympics. This stunning leather look riding hat combines classic equestrian style with on-trend fabrics and designs, and can be customised with the different piping options available. The AYR8 remains one of the most-popular riding hats in the range, and it’s clear to see why; its sleek profile and comfortable fit make this Charles Owen helmet a winner for dressage riders and show jumpers.
