    What riders say about Troxel helmets

    Troxel Cheyenne Helmet

    My primary interest is trails, obstacle courses, and gaming. I love the low profile fit. I just wore it for a weekend clinic, and the fit was great. No headaches! In fact - I didn't think about my helmet any, which is how you want it to be.

    Troxel Sierra Helmet

    On a two-hour ride I had no issues with the headgear whether going up or down hills. I love this helmet, by the end of the ride I felt like I was wearing a baseball cap with a chinstrap.

    The Troxel Edit

    Troxel helmets for every ride, from first lesson to western trail

    Each numbered section below covers one Troxel helmet group, from Spirit and MIPS to western, schooling and toddler styles, plus the brimmers, covers and tops that go with them.

    Troxel Spirit helmet in Pink Dreamscape

    Spirit

    Troxel Spirit helmets with a DialFit dial and low profile

    Troxel Spirit helmets suit riders who want a low-profile shape with a fit they can adjust mid-ride, and Troxel lists the Spirit Helmet as its number one best-selling equestrian helmet. The PIM listing names a deep, full-coverage fit, FlexVisor, vent placement set for maximum airflow, and the DialFit system, where a soft-touch dial tightens the helmet to your head. The FlipFold headliner with Air-Channel technology removes and washes, and Troxel lists the Spirit as ASTM/SEI-certified. Fit is the reason many riders land here: one rider told us she struggles to find helmets that don't look like an acorn on a big head, and another had headaches from a different brand but never from Troxel. Spirit comes in a wide selection of graphics and colors, so you can match your tack. Look elsewhere if you want a leather or microfiber cover, which belong to the western and ES styles below. Browse the full Troxel helmet shop to compare lines side by side.

    Troxel Spirit MIPS helmet in Black Duratec

    MIPS

    Troxel MIPS helmets with DialFit in Spirit and Terrain

    Troxel MIPS helmets come in two styles, the Spirit MIPS Helmet and the Terrain MIPS Helmet, and both list MIPS technology and ASTM/SEI certification in Troxel's product information. Spirit MIPS keeps the Spirit's low profile, full-coverage fit, FlexVisor and DialFit dial, with the same removable, washable FlipFold headliner. Terrain MIPS adds 12 extra-large vents, a Coolcore headliner that Troxel says moves moisture and sweat away from your body, a frontal reinforcement cage and the latest-generation micro-adjustable DialFit system. Pick Spirit MIPS if you already know the Spirit shape suits your head and want MIPS added to it. Pick Terrain MIPS for hot trail days, when ventilation is the first thing you check. Look elsewhere if you want a self-adjusting SureFit system, since neither MIPS style uses one. Compare both on the Troxel riding helmets page.

    Western

    Troxel western helmets with leather covers and SureFit Pro

    Troxel western helmets pair leather or leather-look styling with the self-adjusting SureFit Pro fit system, and three styles cover the range: Dakota Helmet, Sierra Helmet and Cheyenne Helmet. Dakota is the trail style, with an extended sun visor, a leather hat band with concho detail and seven large mesh-covered vents. Sierra uses a rugged leather and nylon covering, and Cheyenne a handcrafted leather covering with intricate stitching. Troxel lists Sierra and Cheyenne as ASTM/SEI-certified; the Dakota listing carries no ASTM/SEI line, so look elsewhere if your barn or event requires one. Western riders say it plainly: one told us there is very little out there that doesn't look English, and another found the Sierra's vents kept her head cool over hours of trail riding. Add a Helmet Brimmer for shade on top of any of them that it fits.

    What Riders Say

    Troxel Cheyenne Helmet

    I absolutely love this helmet. I’m a western rider. There is very little out there that doesn’t look English

    Troxel Liberty helmet in Bluestone Duratec

    Schooling

    Troxel schooling helmets with removable washable liners

    Troxel schooling helmets share a removable, washable headliner, which matters when a helmet gets worn through every lesson and every summer. The Liberty Helmet has six large mesh-covered vents and a DialFit dial. The Intrepid Helmet has a matte Duratec finish and the self-adjusting SureFit Pro system. The Sport 2.0 Helmet is an injection-molded design with seven large vents, an integrated visor and the largest size range in Troxel's line, from XS to XL. The ES Helmet wears a microfiber covering and SureFit Elite fit. Troxel lists all four as ASTM/SEI-certified. Riders mention the vents on summer rides and a fit that doesn't give headaches, which is the case for any of these. Look elsewhere if you want MIPS or a western cover; both have their own sections on this page.

    What Riders Say

    Troxel Intrepid Helmet

    And the vents help keep a little cooler. . . a priority when riding in the Houston summer heat! Also, I love the maroon color.

      Troxel Kids' Toddler helmet in Pink Unicorn

      Kids

      Troxel Toddler helmet with a dial fit and fun graphics

      The Troxel Toddler Helmet is the style for young riders who are starting lessons, and its DialFit dial lets you adjust it to a small head with a turn. Troxel lists a lightweight youth design, ventilation, a stylish matte Duratec finish that resists scratches and dirt, fun graphics, and a FlipFold headliner with AirChannel that comes out and washes. Parents say the fit is a big part of the appeal: one wrote that the helmet is adjustable and fits her daughter, herself and a cousin, and another that a petite granddaughter's fit was perfect. ASTM/SEI is not listed for the Toddler Helmet, so look elsewhere if your program requires that line. Measure your child's head in inches and check Find Your Fit for the range before choosing, then browse the Troxel riding helmets for other sizes.

      I got this helmet for my son who turned 4. He is learning to ride horses and he was so excited when he got his very own helmet.

      Troxel Helmet Brimmer in Natural palm leaf

      Extras

      Troxel brimmers, covers and tops to go with your helmet

      Troxel helmet accessories and tops let you adjust a helmet you already own and wear the brand off the horse. The Helmet Brimmer adds a full 4 1/2 inch genuine palm leaf brim with a patent-pending attachment system, and Troxel lists it as not compatible with Terrain, Sport, Legacy, non-low-profile Spirit or any helmet made before 2014. It is also not suggested for the ES. The Winter Helmet Liner keeps head and ears warm and fits most head sizes. Helmet covers come in velvet, Lycra and water resistant for a show look or wet weather. Tops include the Long Sleeve Hoodie w/UPF 50+ and the Vintage Tee Shirt; the tees are unisex, so ladies may want to size down. Look elsewhere if you need a replacement headliner: those are listed per helmet model.

        Questions riders ask

        Troxel helmet FAQ

        Are Troxel helmets ASTM certified?

        Troxel lists ASTM/SEI certification in its product information for Spirit, Spirit MIPS, Terrain MIPS, Liberty, Intrepid, Rebel, ES, Sierra, Cheyenne, Dynasty and Sport 2.0. The Dakota and Toddler listings carry no ASTM/SEI line. Open the product page of the helmet you like and read its listed standards before you choose.

        How should a Troxel helmet fit?

        Measure around your head about an inch above your eyebrows and match the inches to the size range on the helmet. DialFit helmets tighten with a dial, and SureFit helmets self-adjust. Open Find Your Fit above the sections, find your range, then try the fit system that feels best.

        Which Troxel helmets have MIPS?

        Troxel lists MIPS technology on two helmets, the Spirit MIPS and the Terrain MIPS. Spirit MIPS keeps the Spirit shape and DialFit dial, and Terrain MIPS adds 12 extra-large vents and a Coolcore headliner. Open section 2 to compare the two.

        Can a Helmet Brimmer go on any Troxel helmet?

        The Helmet Brimmer attaches to most Troxel helmets with its patent-pending system, but Troxel lists it as not compatible with Terrain, Sport, Legacy, non-low-profile Spirit or helmets made before 2014, and does not suggest it for the ES. Check your model against that list in section 6 before ordering.

        Is Troxel a good riding helmet brand?

        Troxel is a long-running equestrian helmet brand that lists a low-profile shape, a removable washable headliner and either a DialFit or SureFit system across its lines. Spirit is its number one best-selling helmet. Open section 1 to start with Spirit, then use Find Your Fit for your size.
