FAQ
What sizes are available for the Suomy Apex helmet?
The Suomy Apex Carbon Wood Black Glossy is available in sizes 52 through 62 cm. To find your correct size, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your skull. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up and use the inner padding to fine-tune the fit.
What is the difference between the Small Brim and Large Brim styles?
The Small Brim is the Men's style, featuring a shorter and more compact brim profile. The Large Brim is the Women's style, with a wider brim that provides a more traditional equestrian look and additional sun coverage. Both styles offer the same safety certifications, carbon fiber shell, and interior features - the choice is purely about personal preference and aesthetic style.
Is this helmet approved for competition use?
Yes. The Suomy Apex meets both EN 1384:2017 (European standard) and ASTM F 1163-15 (American standard) safety certifications. These are among the most widely accepted equestrian helmet safety ratings, and the helmet is approved for use in most competitive equestrian disciplines. Always verify with your specific governing body for the most current approval requirements.
How do I care for and clean the inner padding?
The inner padding is fully removable and washable. Simply detach the padding from the helmet shell and wash it according to the care label instructions. The antibacterial and anti-odor materials are designed to maintain freshness over time, but regular washing after heavy use sessions is recommended to keep the helmet hygienic and comfortable.
