Riding Helmets with MIPS

Riding is more than a sport - it's a passion, a lifestyle and often a lifelong partnership with the horse. But whether you're riding on the track, in the woods or at competitions, safety should always come first. Fortunately, the development of modern riding helmets has made it possible to combine maximum safety with comfort and style. One of the most groundbreaking developments in recent times are riding helmets with MIPS, which provide extra protection against brain injuries in crashes.

Your safety comes first

When choosing riding gear, safety should never be a place where you compromise. Head injuries are among the most serious consequences of a fall from a horse, and even a minor fall can have serious consequences if the helmet doesn't provide the necessary protection. This is where MIPS riding helmets stand out.

MIPS - short for Multi-directional Impact Protection System - is a technology developed by equine experts in collaboration with neurosurgeons and biomechanists. The system acts as an extra layer inside the helmet that allows minimal movement between the head and helmet during oblique impacts. This movement reduces the rotational forces that the brain would otherwise be exposed to - and it's precisely these forces that often lead to concussions and more serious injuries.

By choosing a One K MIPS riding helmet, you're not just investing in design and comfort - you're investing in your safety. And it's a decision you'll thank yourself for every time you get on your horse.

What is MIPS?

Riding helmets with MIPS are designed to reduce the damaging forces that can result from oblique impacts to the head. That is, most types of falls that happen in practice. Instead of absorbing the impact solely through the helmet padding, the MIPS layer allows a small sliding movement between the helmet and the head, reducing the rotational impact.

It sounds technical, but the idea is actually simple: brain injuries are rarely caused by a direct blow alone. It's often the twisting forces that occur when the head hits the ground at speed and at an angle that can do the most damage. That's why riding helmets with MIPS provide an extra layer of protection that works with your helmet.

MIPS vs. Traditional riding helmets

The difference between a traditional riding helmet and a MIPS helmet is not in the exterior - but in the internal system and the way the helmet handles impact. A classic helmet is designed to absorb impacts from linear impacts, which typically covers vertical drops or direct collisions. But in the real world, most accidents happen when the rider falls in motion and hits the ground at an angle - creating rotational forces that traditional helmets are not designed to handle.

MIPS adds the ability to protect against these forces by allowing the outer shell to move slightly independently of the head. It's not a replacement for regular protection, but an enhancement of it. You could say that where the classic helmet slows the impact, MIPS helps control it so your brain doesn't take all the load.

For the rider, this means one important message: more peace of mind when you get in the saddle. And that applies whether you're riding dressage, jumping or just enjoying a ride in the woods.

All riding helmets with MIPS

When it comes to safety, don't settle - and you don't have to. Unamari's range of riding helmets with MIPS makes it possible to find a helmet that suits both your style and your needs in the saddle.

Whether you like a classic, understated look or prefer a more eye-catching style, there's a helmet for you. Models are available in both matte and glossy finishes, so you can choose the look that best suits your personal taste. The matte finish gives an elegant and professional look, while the glossy finish adds a more polished and exclusive appearance.

Colors range from black and navy, both of which are timeless choices - easy to combine with riding jackets, event wear and everyday gear. This gives you the freedom to match the helmet with the rest of your look without compromising on functionality.

In addition, several models offer convertible design, where you can easily change top panels, frames and front details. This means you're not locked into one look - you can renew the helmet so it always feels updated and personalized while maintaining its protective function.

Optimal safety and style with One K MIPS

When choosing a riding helmet, it's not just about safety, but also about comfort, functionality and aesthetics. With One K MIPS, you get a helmet that balances all these elements. You don't have to choose between protection and design; you get both in one helmet.

One K has managed to integrate MIPS technology into helmets that are still lightweight, stylish and comfortable to ride with - whether for daily training or competition.

Super ventilation

A riding helmet should not feel heavy or stuffy. Especially on hot days or during intense training. One K MIPS helmets are equipped with a well-thought-out ventilation system where air channels are strategically placed to provide optimal airflow without compromising safety.

Perfect fit

A good riding helmet should fit snug, but not tight. This is where One K MIPS stands out. The helmets come in different sizes and are combined with interchangeable liners so you can customize the fit precisely to your head shape. This means that the helmet won't slide around or press uncomfortably.

The stable fit is not only a matter of comfort, but also of safety. A helmet needs to stay put in the event of a fall - and One K MIPS does just that.
