TROXEL is the world's leading provider of ASTM / SEI Certified Equestrian Helmets, having provided over four million helmets to the equestrian market.
If You Aren’t Riding With a Helmet on, You Shouldn’t Be Riding!
Few things in life can equal the joy and thrill that riding your horse can provide. But experienced riders know that even the best trained, most willing equine partners, can have a bad moment and loose a rider to a fall. Leaving your head unprotected is taking a risk that can have expensive and long term consequences. No one understands design, protection, function and elegance like Troxel. Since 1992, Troxel has been providing leadership toward reducing equestrian related head injuries and deaths. Ride with Troxel and you can ride with confidence!
Why Should I Choose a Troxel Over Other Helmets?
Here are some of the reason's choosing a Troxel Helmet is the right choice for any rider:
Pioneered Helmet Safety: Troxel was the first to develop a light-weight vented ASTM/SEI certified equestrian helmet.
Physician Developed: Troxel is the only physician-developed equestrian helmet line. Since 1992, Troxel has been providing USA leadership towards reducing equestrian related head injuries and deaths. Dr. Timms' background as a specialist in critical care, and as a research professor at The Scripps Institute and University of California, provides the foundation for Troxel's advanced research and innovative products.
Expertise: Dr. Timms has served on the board of the National Brain Injury Association, and was an expert consultant to the State of California Department of Public Health on all injury monitoring and prevention efforts. Today, Dr. Timms is a member of the ASTM committee on head protection and consults Troxel's research and development efforts.
Comprehensive Collections: Troxel offers helmets and accessories for all riders, English and Western alike.
We Do Our Research: After producing superior English and schooling styled helmets for many years, and studying statistics on horse related head injuries, Troxel realized that the number of people using helmets in Western and Trail riding was significantly lower. This prompted Troxel to begin creating helmets for western riders specifically.
Ahead of the Curve: Troxel is the first company to put their research and development team to work for Western and Trail riders. With the introduction of the Dakota "All Trials" helmet, Troxel was the first to offer helmets to the Trail & Western rider. Troxel is still the only helmet manufacturer supporting all equestrian disciplines with a comprehensive line of safety helmets.

Can I Paint and/or Sticker My Helmet?
Troxel strongly advises against painting, stickering, applying crystals, cameras or any other objects to or otherwise modifying a helmet as all of these modifications can damage the helmet and/or reduce its protective capabilities. In addition, dry-cleaning, cleaning solvents, chemicals, paint, heat or bug sprays may affect the helmet’s integrity or performance.
Troxel branded helmet covers, headliners and other Troxel accessories can be used on Troxel helmets and not interfere with the ASTM standard, so long as the user instructions are followed. All other modifications void Troxel’s warranty and may affect the helmet’s protective capabilities.
Do You Make Helmets for Different Head Shapes: Round vs. Long/Oval? Yes! Troxel helmets are designed to fit different head shapes. Troxel’s removable and washable interior headliner changes shape and can alternate between a more oval or more round shape. This is accomplished by the ‘flipfold’ pad located inside the front and sides of the headliner.
Do I Need To Replace My Helmet After a Fall? Yes. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact!The damage may not be visible. Your helmet may also crack during a fall, this is okay, it’s a form of energy dissipation, and energy used to damage the shell is no longer available to damage the rider's head.
How Often Should I Replace My Helmet If I Have Never Had a Fall?
Even if your helmet has not been damaged, it needs to be replaced every 5 years or sooner, depending on how much it is worn.
What Do Customer's Say About Troxel Helmets? Never even got on... I was mounting my 21 year old thoroughbred whom I have owned for 18 years. Normally he is rock solid for mounting but today something spooked him and he bolted with me half on. I was thrown backward landing on my head and back. Other then numerous bruises, scrapes, and a slight headache I got up and walked away. In my entire riding career of 33 years this is the worst accident I ever experienced. Thank goodness for my Troxel helmet! Nancy Lexington KY
On Friday, June 16, I was out for a lovely trail ride on my horse near Arlington, WA. While trotting along at a quick pace, my horse suddenly spooked and dodged to the left, while I kept going forward. As I flew over his shoulder, my body twisted and I landed hard on my back, followed by my head slamming into the ground. I didn’t lose consciousness but it took a good 10-15 minutes before the world made sense again.
Thankfully, I was wearing my Troxel Liberty helmet. Until I purchased the Liberty in March 2015, I rarely wore a helmet. I didn’t like my old helmet… it was uncomfortable and always seemed to end up tilted sideways. However, I wore my Liberty helmet religiously and I’m ever so glad now! I suffered a mild concussion instead of serious brain trauma. I’ll be purchasing a new helmet again in the next few days and should be back in the saddle within a couple weeks. Thanks for making a helmet that I wanted to wear – it saved me from a far worse head injury! Kris Olsen Mill Creek, WA
