Description
The Phae helmet system is a departure from legacy designs that are plagued with issues for equestrian riders. It features a revolutionary chin-strap free interface providing a lightweight, breathable and safe helmet.

Innovation
The number one cause of sports related TBIs in the United States is horse riding, yet despite this, only 8% of casual / trail riders report consistently wearing a helmet. In my research, a desire for a convenient, yet safe helmet was discovered, leading to the creation of the Phae Helmet System. Using the Phae helmet is extremely simple, with a hidden lock/unlock mechanism located discreetly under the fabric.

Product Detail
The Phae helmet is a lightweight, safe, and breathable helmet for equestrian riders. It is comprised of a 2-part shell design that allows for remarkably quick take on and off times. The outer surface is wrapped in a watertight yet breathable mesh providing the rider with superior airflow, while the inside is padded with a dual-foam design for both hard and soft impacts.

Specification
Phae can expand almost an inch in overall diameter, allowing variable user sizing, reducing manufacturing waste, and encouraging a more accessible outcome. It is proposed in 2 fabric colorways: black with a modern organic pattern, and a traditional white minimal fabric appearance.
