LeMieux Verv Matte Competition Riding Helmet

The LeMieux Verv is a competition riding helmet with a matte finish, a corrugated ABS twin shell and a 360 degree wrap fit system, dual-tested according to EN 1384:2023 and ASTM F1163-23. It is best for riders who want one hat that adapts across schooling, training and the competition arena, thanks to interchangeable top panels and click-on magnetic peaks in narrow, wide and brim styles.

How to Use

1. Have the helmet fitted by a trained fitter before first use - always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter.
2. Place the helmet level on your head so the rim sits just above the eyebrows.
3. Turn the rear control wheel to tighten the 360 degree wrap fit until the hat feels snug all round with no pressure points.
4. Fasten the close-to-face harness and adjust so it sits comfortably under the chin with the low-profile Duraflex clip closed.
5. Fit your chosen top panel and magnetic peak, making sure the removable panel is securely fastened before you ride.
6. After riding, wipe the shell with a damp cloth and remove the headband to wash and air dry.

FAQ

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

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

How does the fit adjust?
A 360 degree wrap fit system with a rear control wheel adjusts the fit all the way around your head, avoiding pressure points. The inner headband is washable and optional padding is available for a more individualised fit, which helps if your hat feels slightly loose or tight between sizes.

Is the helmet well ventilated?
Yes. The Verv uses the Coanda effect airflow system to move heat away from your head, and the corrugated ABS twin shell keeps it lightweight yet strong.

Do I need to replace the helmet after a fall?
Yes. Replace both the helmet and the panel after any impact, even if there is no visible damage. See the warning label inside the helmet.

How do I clean it?
Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth. The headband is removable and washable - allow it to dry fully before refitting.
