The lab videos below provide a useful insight into ARRO’s testing and development process. Some were filmed in our in-house test lab, while others are from Mips and Snell.

We believe strongly in being open and transparent with our customers about how equestrian helmets are tested and developed. Very few helmet brands provide this level of behind-the-scenes insight into the testing process, and we are proud to share it. We will do the same with air vests and body protectors this later year including explaining the differences (like we have done with the helmet testing below)

In keeping with our approach to safety, we aim for the highest and most comprehensive safety standards available, rather than simply designing to meet the minimum requirements.

Notes: 99% of helmets cannot pass Snell. The complete list of Snell certified helmets are located here:
