📏 Sizing Guide
How to Measure: Use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows, going around the widest part of your head. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight.
| Size | Head Circumference (cm) | Head Circumference (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | 52 cm | 20.5" |
| 53 | 53 cm | 20.9" |
| 54 | 54 cm | 21.3" |
| 55 | 55 cm | 21.7" |
| 56 | 56 cm | 22.0" |
| 57 | 57 cm | 22.4" |
| 58 | 58 cm | 22.8" |
| 59 | 59 cm | 23.2" |
| 60 | 60 cm | 23.6" |
| 61 | 61 cm | 24.0" |
Fit Tips: The helmet should fit snugly without pressure points. It should not move when you shake your head side to side or up and down. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more secure racing fit. The four-point retention system allows for fine-tuning the fit. Contact us for personalized fitting assistance.

🎓 Understanding Ultra-Lightweight Racing Helmet Technology
The 450-Gram Advantage
At 450 grams, the RACE EVO represents a significant weight reduction compared to traditional racing helmets that typically weigh 600-800 grams. This 150-350 gram difference may seem small, but over the course of a race day with multiple rides, it translates to substantially reduced neck strain and fatigue. Professional jockeys report improved endurance, better head position control, and reduced post-race soreness when switching to ultra-lightweight helmets. The weight savings come from advanced material engineering and precision manufacturing, not from reducing protective capabilities.
Metal Mesh Ventilation Technology
Unlike traditional plastic ventilation ports that can crack or break under impact, metal mesh ventilation provides superior durability while maintaining excellent airflow. The mesh design allows air to flow through while preventing debris penetration, and the metal construction resists damage from falls, equipment contact, or general wear. The four-system ventilation layout creates strategic air channels that maximize cooling efficiency without compromising the helmet's structural integrity or protective performance.
Thermal-Adjusting Performance
The RACE EVO's thermal-adjusting technology uses specialized materials and ventilation design that respond to temperature changes. As ambient temperature rises or your body heat increases during intense riding, the system enhances airflow and heat dissipation. In cooler conditions, the padding provides insulation while still managing moisture effectively. This dynamic regulation prevents overheating in summer racing and maintains comfort in variable weather conditions without requiring manual adjustments.
CE EN1384 Racing Certification
The CE EN1384 standard is the European safety certification specifically designed for equestrian helmets used in racing and competitive riding. It requires helmets to pass rigorous impact testing at multiple points, penetration resistance tests, and retention system strength evaluations under racing-specific conditions. The RACE EVO meets and exceeds these requirements, providing professional-grade protection that's been validated through independent testing and real-world racing use by professional jockeys worldwide.
When to Replace Your Helmet
Replace your UOF RACE EVO immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. The techno-polymer shell and polystyrene padding can sustain internal damage that compromises protection without showing external signs. Additionally, replace your helmet every 3-5 years under normal use, as materials degrade over time due to UV exposure (despite anti-UV coating), temperature fluctuations, and general wear. The removable padding system allows you to refresh the interior for hygiene and comfort, but the shell itself has a finite protective lifespan that cannot be extended through maintenance alone.
🧼 Care & Maintenance Instructions
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the glossy black shell with a soft, damp microfiber cloth after each use to remove dirt, sweat, and debris while maintaining the finish
- Padding Care: Remove the hypo-allergenic polystyrene padding regularly and hand wash with mild soap and cool water; air dry completely before reinstalling
- Replacement Padding: Order replacement padding kits when original padding shows compression, wear, or odor that cleaning cannot eliminate
- Metal Mesh Maintenance: Gently clean ventilation mesh with a soft brush to remove debris; ensure mesh remains clear for optimal airflow
- Never Use: Harsh chemicals, solvents, petroleum-based cleaners, or abrasive materials that can damage the techno-polymer shell or eco-sustainable varnish
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; use a helmet bag for protection during transport
- UV Protection: While the helmet features anti-UV coating, minimize prolonged sun exposure when not in use to extend material lifespan
- Inspection: Regularly inspect for cracks, dents, or delamination; check the four-point retention system for wear and proper function
- Quick-Release Testing: Test the quick-release buckle weekly to ensure it operates smoothly and releases properly when needed
- Weight Verification: If the helmet feels heavier than normal, inspect for water absorption in padding or debris accumulation in ventilation
- Professional Service: Have helmet professionally inspected after any fall or impact, even if no damage is visible
