LeMieux Verv Gloss Competition Riding Helmet

LeMieux Verv Competition Riding Helmet in Gloss

The LeMieux Verv Competition Helmet is a dual-certified equestrian riding hat with a corrugated ABS twin shell, a gloss outer finish and interchangeable click-on top panels and magnetic peaks. It is best for competition riders and everyday schooling riders who want a close performance fit, strong ventilation and the ability to change the helmet's look between disciplines.

Tested according to EN 1384:2023 and ASTM F1163-23, the Verv combines impact, penetration and crush-resistant construction with a 360 degree wrap fit system borrowed from cycling and ski helmet technology and re-engineered for equestrians. Compare it with fixed-shell hats and the difference is adjustability: the rear control wheel tunes the fit all the way around your head rather than at one point.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Measure around your head just above the ears and eyebrows to identify your starting size.
2. Place the helmet level on your head so the rim sits roughly one finger's width above the eyebrows.
3. Turn the rear control wheel to tighten the 360 degree wrap system until the fit is snug all the way around, with no pressure points.
4. Fasten the harness so it sits close to the face and clip the low-profile Duraflex buckle.
5. Fit your chosen top panel and magnetic peak, checking the panel is securely fastened before you ride.
6. Have the finished fit checked by a trained fitter, and browse more riding hats to compare shapes.

FAQ

What safety standards does the LeMieux Verv helmet meet?
The Verv carries dual-certified safety accreditation and is tested according to EN 1384:2023 and ASTM F1163-23. It also meets BSI and SEI impact testing requirements both with and without the removable panel fitted.

Can I change the peak and top panel?
Yes. The Verv uses click-on magnetic peaks available in narrow, wide and brim styles, plus interchangeable top panels, so you can adapt the helmet to your discipline and preference. Securely fasten the removable panel before every ride, as it may release upon impact.

How do I get the right size and fit?
Measure your head circumference just above the ears and eyebrows to choose your size, then use the rear control wheel to adjust the 360 degree wrap system around your whole head. Always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter before use.

Is the Verv helmet well ventilated?
It uses the Coanda effect airflow system, which moves heat away from the head, making it suitable for warm days, competition classes and longer schooling sessions.

Can I wash the lining?
The headband is washable and optional padding can be used to fine-tune the fit. Wipe the gloss outer shell with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat.

When should the helmet be replaced?
Replace both the helmet and the panel after any impact, even if no damage is visible, and refer to the warning label inside the helmet.
