Riding helmet GPA Global range, First Lady visor, patented TLS chin strap. EU-EN1384:2023 approved. Italy.

The GPA Global is the most technical helmet in the GPA range.
Cleaning the shell Wipe the outside with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Never use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive products - they damage the materials of the shell.

Washing the inner liner Remove the liner and machine wash it at 30°C, delicate cycle. Air dry only. Do not use a tumble dryer - heat distorts the foam.

Storage Keep your helmet in its protective cover, away from heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. Avoid placing heavy objects on top.

Recommended lifespan Replace your helmet every 5 years at most, even without a fall. Materials degrade over time, with sweat and UV exposure.

After a fall After a fall, even without visible damage, we recommend replacing your helmet. Invisible micro-cracks can compromise the structure, and the EPS cannot be replaced without re-certification.
How to measure my helmet size?

Measure your head circumference with a soft tape measure, over your eyebrows and ears, at the widest point. Repeat 2-3 times and note the highest value. The size in cm = the GPA size (e.g.: 57 cm → size 57). If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.

Can I machine wash the entire helmet?

No. Only the removable inner liner can be machine washed at 30°C, delicate cycle. The shell should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Water and heat damage the materials and compromise safety.

Is this helmet approved for FFE competition?

Yes. All GPA helmets are CE EN1384 certified, a standard recognised by the FFE and FEI organisations. Check the specific requirements of your discipline - some events have additional standards.
