Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

LeMieux Vexa Skull Riding Hat Black

Season:CORE

Brand:LeMieux

Code:1001973

The LeMieux Vexa Skull Riding Hat brings modern safety technology, exceptional comfort and a sleek, low-profile design to the traditional jockey skull.

Designed around LeMieux’s innovative 360° Wrap Fit System, the Vexa gently cradles the head for a secure, even fit without creating unnecessary pressure points. The rear adjustment wheel allows the fit to be fine-tuned, while removable 5mm and 10mm padding inserts help customise the depth through the crown.

Its sculpted protective shell features a practical grit finish designed to help keep your hat silk securely in place. Six strategically positioned crown vents use carefully engineered airflow to help reduce heat build-up and keep riders comfortable during training and competition.

A streamlined, low-profile harness sits close to the face, with in-moulded strap anchors and a Duraflex fastening for a neat and secure finish. Inside, the removable performance padding and headband can be washed, making the Vexa easy to keep fresh between rides.

For added reassurance, the LeMieux Vexa is independently tested and certified to the latest international riding helmet standards, including EN 1384:2023 and ASTM F1163-23, and carries both the BSI Kitemark and SEI mark.

Key Features:

  • 360° Wrap Fit System for a secure, even fit
  • Adjustable rear fit control wheel
  • 5mm and 10mm removable padding inserts for personalised crown depth
  • Six large crown vents for improved airflow
