KEP Riding Hats

Established in 2007, KEP Italia has swiftly become a global industry leader in riding helmet design and production. Favoured by top riders including multiple Olympian Andrew Hoy and leading Show Jumper Scott Brash, KEP is renowned for producing the most stylish riding hats which are at the forefront of rider safety wear.

Founded by Lelia Polini and Bianca Collet-Serret, KEP is a brand built on passion. With so many traditional riding hats lacking the refined elegance and glamour sought by so many horse riders, the duo’s aim was to produce the comfiest and safest riding hats in the pursuit of excellence.

KEP hats use only the very best materials to ensure that safety is its top priority. The shells of KEP helmets are made from a light and resistant ABS outer, which provides optimum comfort while maintaining tough and durable protection. So, when people ask “are KEP helmets safe?” the answer is undoubtedly yes!

Many people wonder whether to go for a KEP or KASK when it comes to choice of riding hats. The benefit of a KEP riding hat is that you get two hats in one! The popular KEP Cromo 2 helmet is the most versatile hat in the range, as the peak can quickly and easily be removed to transform this peaked helmet into a jockey skull. That means that you can use this hat for all disciplines, including dressage, show jumping and cross country riding.

The Cromo 2 utilises an innovative mechanical system, which means that not only the peak can be removed, but the front panel too. This makes this riding hat completely customisable, so you can add your own stylish touches and splashes of shimmer and shine without having to buy a new helmet. The KEP Cromo 2 replacement panel can be used to customise your hat, so whether you want to add a burst of colour or a scattering of glitter, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the versatility that the range provides.

The KEP liner system means that you can change the size of your riding hat without needing to buy a new one. This is particularly useful for little KEP fans, as growing children can simply replace the helmet’s inner liner without parents needing to purchase a brand new hat! This system is applicable to all ranges, including the KEP Smart liner and KEP Cromo 2 liner.

If you like the style of these stunning hats but want a model a little more wallet-friendly, the KEP Smart riding hat is the entry level helmet in the range. Despite being at the lower end of the range, the Smart doesn’t compromise on style; with plenty of options including stylish matt and sleek polish finishes, the Smart hat is sure to turn heads wherever you’re riding this season.
