KEP Italy
KEP Italia – Maximum breathability, ultra-safe and luxuriously lightweight
KEP Italia is known worldwide as one of the safest, lightest, and best-ventilated riding helmets on the market. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of KEP helmets perfectly suited to high-end riders: elegant, technically refined, and designed for optimal performance in dressage, jumping, and eventing.
Unparalleled safety according to the strictest standards
KEP Italia meets all international safety standards and is among the highest rated helmets. The construction consists of an extremely strong outer shell combined with shock-absorbing materials that distribute impact perfectly. Thanks to KEP's clever design, the helmet remains stable, sturdy, and reliable in every situation—a reassuring feeling for riders who don't want to take risks.
The most advanced ventilation system in equestrian sports
KEP helmets are synonymous with breathability . With the patented Air Control System , the helmet regulates airflow fully automatically. Warm air can escape while fresh air enters, without the rider having to perform any additional actions. This makes KEP ideal for hot summer days, intensive training sessions, and demanding competition conditions.
Ultralight and extremely comfortable
One of KEP Italia's greatest strengths is its exceptionally light weight. The helmet feels almost weightless yet remains sturdy and stable. The soft inner lining is made of antibacterial, hypoallergenic materials that quickly wick away sweat. This liner is removable, washable, and replaceable, keeping the helmet fresh and hygienic at all times.
Design that combines luxury and performance
KEP Italia offers a wide range of stylish designs, ensuring every rider can find a model that perfectly suits their style. You'll find:
- Matte or glossy
- Glitter tops
- Metallic and chrome finishes
- Carbon variants
- Luxurious front panels
- Custom combinations
KEP is known for its subtle elegance: modern, sporty and unmistakably high-end.

- Dressage

They are worn by top riders worldwide and are particularly popular with riders who spend many hours in the saddle.
Hygienic, durable and easy to maintain
The removable liner and high-quality materials ensure your KEP helmet stays clean, fresh, and beautiful for years to come. The exterior is scratch-resistant and colorfast, even with heavy use. KEP's quality guarantees a long lifespan, making this helmet a sound investment.
