A reputation built on safety
Champion’s reputation is built on safety. The Champion safety brand was founded in Great Britain in the mid 1970’s, when John & Bridget Ayres wanted to ensure that their own children and indeed all horse riders had safer riding hats to wear.
Champion was instrumental in the creation of the British PAS 015 higher standard and was the first brand to launch riding hats made to PAS 015. Champion’s own Body Protectors followed not long after, and more recently Mips technology was introduced to Champion’s PAS 015 collection of riding hats to help reduce concussion injuries.
Champion has its own state-of-the-art testing laboratory in Cardiff to ensure continuous improvement and innovation. Safety runs throughout Champion’s DNA with products proudly handmade in Great Britain.
Going the extra mile
At Champion, we deliver the ultimate in safety, which is why all of our products undergo rigorous testing standards and are regularly audited. So, whatever your discipline, be it dressage, showjumping or hacking, you can rest assured that you’re protected and comfortable with a Champion riding helmet or body protector. We are a proud family-owned business in the UK with an established brand heritage.
Your safety, our passion
Everyone at Champion takes great pride in manufacturing in Great Britain, and believe that this is an integral part of our brand’s message and philosophy.
