ASTM/SEI Certification
Official safety certification of equestrian safety helmets in the United States. Troxel manufactures only ASTM/SEI certified helmets. The Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) is an independent, accredited organization that certifies the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards are met. The ASTM F1163 standard for equestrian head gear has been revised numerous times since its initial publication in 1988. Each revision reflects ASTM's technical committee's ongoing effort to clarify, correct or improve the standard and provide consistency in testing. A helmet which has been ASTM certified to an earlier edition (e.g., ASTM F1163-01) remains certified even though newer models are always certified to the most recent edition.
GPS III™ Micro-Adjustable Fit System
The ultimate in quick-fit and micro-adjustment.
The GPS III™ adjusts with a light touch, also adjusts vertically and is ponytail compatible.
GPS II™ Dial Fit System
The GPS II™ adds “quick-fit” to the original GPS system. The soft-touch dial permits quick and precise helmet adjustment and is ponytail compatible.
Soft Tip™
The structural plastic of the visor is co-molded with a soft, protective outer half and a strong inner portion for attachment purposes. This system has been engineered to reduce the potential for cuts or scrapes in the event of a fall while allowing your visor to lock in place.
Flip-Fold™ Fit System
The Flip-Fold™ Fit System provides a flip adjusted, inner liner that adjusts either the helmet's length or width to accommodate different head shapes. Adjustment is made by simply folding over the integrated tabs.
Duratec™
Pioneered by Troxel, the Duratec™ process protects the outer shell of the helmet from day-to-day dirt and scratches. Aesthetically, the finish provides a quality feel and a deep, rich appearance.
Garcia™ Retention Rings
Made of precision forged metal, these steel rings are stronger and more stylish than former plastic versions, allowing riders to quickly choose, adjust and secure their fit.
