The HYDA redefines the equestrian helmet through a seamless fusion of safety innovation and contemporary design within the EQx Charles Owen range. Its streamlined silhouette incorporates discreet ventilation, achieving both visual elegance and functional performance.

Featuring interchangeable standard and wide peaks, the ABS shell is fitted with an EPS foam liner, while integrated patented MIPS technology (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) mirrors the brain’s own protective mechanism by introducing a low-friction layer between the head and the helmet.

A precision dial-fit system, along with a removable, washable headband, ensures adaptability, comfort, and longevity, while certification to three international safety standards provides reassurance and reliability.

Balancing form and function, the HYDA reflects a modern design ethos that empowers riders with confidence, style, and uncompromising safety—perfectly styled to complement contemporary rider fashion.
