Troxel lists Spirit as its number one best-selling equestrian helmet
Troxel Spirit helmets
Spirit and Spirit MIPS helmets
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.
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.
Very attractive helmet and fit just the way I wanted. Light weight and felt great. I’m happy with my purchase
Fits perfectly, very supportive & looks very professional.
The Troxel Edit
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.

Spirit
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.

MIPS
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 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
I absolutely love this helmet. I’m a western rider. There is very little out there that doesn’t look English
Comfortable helmet for trail riding. The vents help keep your head cool during hours of wear.

Schooling
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
And the vents help keep a little cooler. . . a priority when riding in the Houston summer heat! Also, I love the maroon color.
I bought this helmet a few days ago and already love it! It fits so well and doesn't give me headache like past ones. I will be recommending this to my friends!!!

Kids
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.
What Riders Say
Daughter said it was a comfortable helmet for her first riding lesson. Her instructor said it was super cute too!
I got this helmet for my daughter and she loves it. The colors/patterns are pretty and it is adjustable so it fits not only my daughter but myself and her cousin as well!
Bought this for my granddaughter. She is just starting out with riding lessons. She absolutely loves this helmet. She is very petite and the helmet fit perfectly.
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.

Extras
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
