Premium riding helmets at Equishop: KASK, FreeJump, Samshield and KEP – what's new and what's available now?

Since its inception, the Equishop equestrian store has consistently developed rider safety, and 2025 saw a significant expansion of its premium helmet offerings. Today, Equishop is one of the best-equipped places in Poland when it comes to premium equestrian helmets. In this article, we'll explain which brands and solutions have found their way into our store, why it's important to pay attention to fit and certifications, and how to take advantage of a brick-and-mortar store's advantages when choosing a helmet. We invite you to read on!

New brands in the offer - KASK and FreeJump

In 2025, two important premium brands joined the Equishop portfolio. The first is KASK – a global leader in head protection, recognized for its advanced design technologies and rigorous safety certifications. This brand's models combine modern shock-absorbing solutions with high-quality craftsmanship. Thanks to their elegant and refined design, they are the choice of both professionals and discerning amateurs.

Another brand is FreeJump . Many may associate it with innovation and a modern approach to rider safety. Its designs are designed with active users in mind, who expect a harmonious combination of comfort and protection. It's worth knowing that FreeJump helmets are available in Poland exclusively in the Equishop store , which makes our offer unique compared to the domestic market.

Samshield and KEP - unique configurations available immediately

This year also saw a strengthening of the Samshield and KEP brands. As a result, we are now able to offer customers a wide selection of ready-made models and unique configurations. Importantly, our brick-and-mortar showroom showcases variants that are often not available in standard online stores—different finishes, interior colors, and personalization options are available.

The advantages of shopping at the Equishop stationary store include:

• wide availability of models on site - the ability to take the helmet immediately;
• unique configurations – variants that are hard to find online;
• try-on and compare – real fit instead of guessing size online.

This is an advantage that has a real impact on safety and comfort of use.

Safety as the foundation of conscious riding

Every experienced rider knows that a helmet is a fundamental piece of protection – it protects the head, which is most vulnerable to serious injury during a fall. Its effectiveness depends on three key factors: certification , fit , and quality of workmanship . Certifications confirm that the design has passed crash tests; the fit minimizes the risk of shifting during a fall; and robust materials and precise workmanship ensure durability and reliability.

Equestrian safety begins with informed equipment decisions. Choosing a helmet should be based on knowledge, not just aesthetics.

Equishop as a leader in safe horse riding

Equishop builds its reputation on years of experience and the practical knowledge of its team. Our staff consists of horse riders who understand the realities of both sport and recreation. This ensures that the advice we offer our clients at the salon is professional , personalized , and focused on the rider's real needs .

In practice, this means:

• analysis of driving style and customer needs;
• assistance in selecting the right size and model;
• tips on how to care for and replace your helmet if damaged.
