Antares Galaxy Race Helmet

The Antares Galaxy collection offers three models, each with their unique colour combinations. The Galaxy collection helmets are recognisable by the contrasting top stitching and chromed detailing. 

All models are handmade in the Antares workshop in Saintes.

Details:

• The short visor on the Galaxy Race has been designed to satisfy the demands of jockeys in horse racing and to protect the rider in the event of a fall. The European standard EN1384-2017 requires the visor to bend when a load is applied to it. This is to prevent it from breaking and injuring the rider. The visor of Antares helmets is therefore deliberately flexible and in case of deformation, it can be manipulated manually to restore its original shape.
• The outer shell of your Antarès riding helmet is made of ABS. Its purpose is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet’s surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by spreading it out.
• The liner is made from EPS (expanded polystyrene). It absorbs the energy by compressing on impact and as a result, the liner becomes far denser and cannot absorb the force a second time as it is ‘single-impact‘.
• Its four front vents and two rear extractors provide good air circulation and thermal regulation is therefore improved.
• The retention system ensures your helmet fits securely on your head and stops any rotation. The harness has three or four points and these points correspond to the number of fastenings on your helmet. Accordingly, all Antarès riding helmets have three-point harnesses. The Y-shaped fastening system has more widely spaced points to reduce any helmet rotation. What’s more, the Antares helmets have nylon straps and POM buckles (a plastic compound).
• In contact with the rider's head, the high quality foams allow a perfect fit of your riding helmet and an optimal comfort. Whether your head shape is round or oval, they will complement your body shape. Removable, these internal pads can be regularly removed and cleaned to maintain cleanliness. Made in Italy, they are breathable, OEKO-TEX® certified and hand washable in warm water.
