KEP Hats Full Range Is Now Here To Purchase
(April 03, 2011)Swarovski crystals are placed by hand aroud the grill on the front of the helmet. Available on all CROMO T models as an optional extra.
Unparalleled attention is paid to the safety of the products, each helmet enduring a rigorous set of 15 safety standard tests for front, side and rear impact, rotational falls and crashes of the rider. KEP’s mission is to provide a helmet which protects the rider using the latest technology and to create a helmet which is lightweight and elegant for all horse sport.
The hats are tested and kite marked for the British Market and have the BSI Kite mark BS:EN 1384,also carrying EN:1384 and ASTM F1163.04A.
The hats are lightweight with an air control system grille at the front of the hat which circulates air around the head, keeping it cool when riding – like air conditioning for your head! The hats feature a coolmax interchangeable liner which can be replaced or washed as required.
GRILLE
The front grille has an air control system through the delicate moving up and down of the central switch. The polystyrene foam to guarantee a major protection in case of penetration of insects.
The frame of the hardhat is the perfect co-ordination of the three interconnecting parts that leave sinuous paths for great air circulation.
The high-tech polystyrene is in double density foan for a better shock absorption.
AIR CONFLUENCE
The perfect and homogeneous air circulation keeps the head always cool and dry. Hot air generated by the head temperature speed out to the outer surface and through the rear channels. The peak is flexable in order to avoid fractures during a fall.
CHIN STRAP
Five point harness fitted with the hardhat support system. The chinstrap directly inserted in the hardhat through three passing rings is completely smooth non-allergic and washable leather. The rivets are not in contact with the skin. This has been studied to avoid skin disorders.
INNER PAD
The one piece inner padding is attached to an anatomic cushion that perfectly fits the nape ensuring optimum comfort and absolute air diffusion thanks to the high-tech materials used: Coolmax coupled with open-cells filter and smooth Sanitized treated micro-fibre. The inner pad can also be bought seperately as a spare-part.
REMOVE AND REPLACE THE INNER PAD
1. Raise the front part and then the lateral parts of the padding stick from the helmet.
2. Detach the inner pad from the Velcro placed on the foan.
3. Remove the pad. Once the pad is washed and dry fit in again, the lateral parts of the padding stick in again. The central part of the stick remains partly lifted so as to allow air flow.
4. Dress again the rest of the pad inside the crown with a light pressure of the hands over the velcro placed on the lateral and rear parts of the foam.
