Suomy Apex Riding Helmet - Wood Black Glossy
Description
The Suomy Apex Riding Helmet in Wood Black Glossy is a masterpiece of equestrian craftsmanship, blending genuine natural wood detailing with cutting-edge helmet technology. Each helmet is uniquely decorated with real black wood grain in a rich glossy finish - because no two pieces of wood in nature are identical, no two helmets are exactly alike. Designed for serious riders who refuse to compromise on style or safety, the Apex meets both EN 1384:2017 and ASTM F 1163-15 safety certifications, making it a trusted choice at the highest levels of competition.
Built around an ultralight thermoplastic resin composite shell, the Apex weighs just 520 grams while delivering outstanding protection and all-day comfort. Trusted by world-class showjumper Edwina Alexander, this helmet is engineered for riders who demand the best - from the aerodynamic ventilation system to the hypoallergenic, antibacterial inner padding that keeps you fresh through every ride.

FAQ
How do I find my correct helmet size?
To find your size, measure the circumference of your head in centimeters at its widest point - typically just above your eyebrows and ears. The Suomy Apex is available in sizes 52 through 62 cm. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up and use the adjustable inner padding for a snug, secure fit. When in doubt, feel free to email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for personalized sizing guidance.
What is the difference between the Small Brim and Large Brim styles?
The Small Brim is a Men's style with a shorter, more compact brim, while the Large Brim is a Women's style with a wider, more traditional equestrian brim. The choice is largely a matter of personal preference and aesthetics - either style can be worn by any rider. Consider which silhouette best suits your riding discipline and personal look.
Is the wood finish durable? Will it scratch or chip easily?
The natural wood detailing on the Suomy Apex is finished with a protective glossy coating designed to preserve the wood grain's appearance under normal riding conditions. As with any premium finish, it is best to avoid dropping the helmet or exposing it to sharp objects. The included travel case is specifically designed to protect the helmet during transport and storage.
Can I wash the inner padding of the helmet?
Yes - the inner padding of the Suomy Apex is removable and washable, making it easy to maintain hygiene between rides. The antibacterial and anti-odor materials are built to hold up through regular cleaning. Always follow the care instructions included with the helmet to ensure the padding maintains its shape and performance.
Is this helmet approved for sanctioned equestrian competition?
Yes. The Suomy Apex carries both the EN 1384:2017 and ASTM F 1163-15 safety certifications, which are widely recognized and accepted by major equestrian governing bodies for competition use. We recommend verifying with your specific federation or show organization to confirm compliance with their current rules before competing.
