Charles Owen

Since 1911 Charles Owen has been committed to saving lives. Every Charles Owen riding hat is handmade in the UK Wrexham production facility by highly skilled technicians to ensure the highest possible quality. Charles Owen are founder members of the British Horse Society Accident Database and work with the leading researchers in the field. Charles Owen rolled out an education program in conjunction with Headway the British Brain Injury Organisation and the American Brain Trauma Foundation a major programme of working with top riders in each discipline to ensure that our products are not just tested by laboratory dummies. Perhaps the most significant effort is educating both helmet sellers and wearers in maximising the safety of helmets through correct fitting. Laboratory dummies cannot represent the true diversity of the human race and it is is well recognised that a helmet that does not fit can lead to fatal consequences. There is still widespread ignorance even amongst helmet designers and it is a serious concern with all safety professionals in our sport. Charles Owen continue to lead the way in riding hats and skull caps safety wear continually raising the bar with their design and choice.
