FAQ

What safety certifications does the Suomy Apex meet?

The Suomy Apex meets four major international safety standards: EN 1384:2017 (European), ASTM F 1163-15 (American), VG1 01.040 2014-12 (German), and PAS 015:2011 (British). This comprehensive certification suite means the helmet is accepted at virtually all sanctioned equestrian competitions worldwide, including FEI-level events.

How do I choose between the Small Brim and Large Brim styles?

The Small Brim is the Men's-style profile with a shorter, more compact brim, while the Large Brim is the Women's-style with a wider, more traditional equestrian silhouette. The choice is primarily aesthetic - both provide the same level of protection, carbon fiber construction, and certifications. Choose based on your personal preference and the look you want in the saddle.

How do I determine my correct helmet size?

Helmet sizes are listed in centimeters and correspond to the circumference of your head measured just above the eyebrows and ears. Use a flexible tape measure for the most accurate result. If you fall between two sizes, it is generally recommended to size up and use the padding inserts to fine-tune the fit. A properly fitted helmet should feel snug but not uncomfortable, with no side-to-side or front-to-back movement.

Can I wash the inner padding of the Suomy Apex?

Yes - the inner padding is fully removable and washable. This makes it easy to keep the helmet fresh and hygienic through a full season of riding. The padding is also made from antibacterial, anti-odor, and hypoallergenic materials for added comfort and cleanliness between washes.

How long does delivery take?

The Suomy Apex has an estimated delivery lead time of 4-6 weeks. If you need a more specific ETA or have questions about your order's shipping timeline, please reach out to us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll be happy to help.

Should I replace my helmet after a fall?

Yes - any helmet that has sustained a significant impact should be replaced, even if no visible damage is apparent. The carbon fiber and internal foam are designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy, which can compromise the helmet's structural integrity in ways that are not always visible. Suomy and most equestrian safety organizations recommend replacing your helmet after any serious fall or impact.
