Your safety is our passion
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.
