When it comes to horse riding, a well-fitted, certified riding hat is more than just a piece of gear—it’s an essential part of every equestrian’s safety and style. The Shires Karben Valentina Riding Hat in the elegant Coal colour delivers both, with a sleek, modern design and advanced safety features that riders of all levels will appreciate.

Designed with Safety at Its Core

The Karben Valentina isn’t just about looking good—it’s built to keep you protected. Certified to PAS 015:2011 and VG1 standards, this riding hat offers trusted protection against impacts. Whether you’re schooling in the arena, out on a hack, or entering the show ring, you can ride with confidence knowing your headgear is up to the job.

Its lightweight ABS shell is designed to absorb impact while keeping bulk to a minimum, and the EPS inner core cushions against falls or knocks. It’s peace of mind, without the weight.

Supreme Comfort for All-Day Wear

Comfort is key when it comes to any riding hat, and the Karben Valentina delivers. It features a CoolDry moisture-wicking lining, which helps keep your head cool and dry even during longer rides or warmer weather.

The padded inner and air vents help with airflow, reducing heat build-up during intense sessions. Plus, the micro-adjustable dial fit system ensures a custom, secure fit—perfect for growing riders or anyone who needs a snug but comfortable feel.

Sophisticated Style Meets Practical Design

The Coal version of the Karben Valentina Riding Hat brings a timeless, refined look to your equestrian wardrobe. The subtle matte finish, glossy centre panel, and stylish glitter detail make this hat an eye-catcher without being overly flashy—ideal for both everyday schooling and more formal events.

The flexible peak adds a sporty touch while offering additional sun protection, and the secure harness with a quick-release buckle ensures your hat stays perfectly in place from mounting to dismount.


Whether you’re just starting your equestrian journey or you’ve been in the saddle for years, the Shires Karben Valentina Riding Hat – Coal strikes the perfect balance between style, safety, and comfort. It’s a riding essential you’ll want to wear every time you tack up.
