In the KED riding helmet collection, the Paso for adult riders takes centre stage.

If your measurement falls within one of the Paso size ranges, that is the starting point for trying it on. Where size ranges overlap, the actual fit decides: the helmet should sit evenly around the head without causing pressure points or headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should a riding helmet fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the helmet centrally on your head. It should slip neither far back onto the neck nor low onto the forehead, and should sit roughly one to two finger widths above the eyebrows. Move your head carefully forward and to the sides. If the helmet stays in position and your eyebrows move slightly with it, that points to a good fit. Adjust the straps so that normal jaw movements remain possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung points out that head shape counts alongside head circumference and recommends trying a riding helmet on before use. You will find detailed guidance in the German-language guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pferdesport-deutschland.de\/ausbildung\/ausruestung-von-pferd-und-reiter\/der-richtige-reithelm\/der-richtige-reithelm\"\u003eSo sitzt der Reithelm richtig\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich colour and features suit your riding routine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Paso is available in understated and more expressive versions.

The Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung also recommends replacing a riding helmet after three to five years from first use, depending on how intensively it has been used and on its condition. Store it in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKED Paso riding helmet for training and everyday use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the available sizes and colours directly on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kidiahead.com\/products\/paso-reithelm\"\u003eproduct page for the KED Paso riding helmet\u003c\/a\u003e.
