New: Kep Italia Velvet Helmets – Classic Elegance for the Smart Nova and Cromo 2.0

Riders who appreciate a timeless and elegant look are in for a treat. Kep Italia has introduced a stunning new Velvet Collection for the popular Kep Italia Smart Nova and Kep Italia Cromo 2.0 helmets. Featuring luxurious velvet covering, refined details and an authentic hunter-inspired style, these helmets are the perfect choice for riders who want to combine safety with classic elegance.

Whether you compete in show jumping, hunter classes or simply love a traditional equestrian look, the new Velvet models bring a touch of heritage to the modern riding arena.

The Classic Hunter Look Returns

Velvet has long been associated with traditional equestrian style. While many modern riding helmets feature matte or glossy technical finishes, the new Velvet Collection brings back the appearance of the iconic competition helmets of the past.

The soft velvet covering creates a luxurious look that perfectly suits:

  • Hunter and equitation competitions
  • Traditional show jumpers
  • Dressage riders who appreciate a classic appearance
  • Riders looking for a timeless style

Despite their traditional appearance, these helmets feature all the modern safety and comfort technologies that Kep Italia is known for.

Available on the Smart Nova and Cromo 2.0

The new Velvet finish is available on two of Kep Italia's most popular helmet models:

Kep Italia Smart Nova Velvet

The Smart Nova represents the latest generation of Kep Italia helmets. It combines a modern fit with excellent ventilation and outstanding value for money. Thanks to its interchangeable liner system, the helmet can easily be adjusted to fit different head shapes.

Kep Italia Cromo 2.0 Velvet

The Cromo 2.0 is Kep Italia’s premium helmet and is renowned for its refined finish, excellent ventilation and extensive customization possibilities. The addition of the Velvet finish gives this model an even more exclusive appearance.

Available with a Short or Long Visor

Just like the other Smart Nova and Cromo 2.0 models, the Velvet Collection is available with different visor options.

Depending on your preference, you can choose:

  • Short visor for a sporty and traditional look
  • Long visor for a more elegant and feminine appearance

This allows every rider to find a style that perfectly matches their personal preference.

The Stylish Beige (Cognac) Chin Strap

One of the standout features of the new Velvet Collection is the option to choose a beige/cognac chin strap. This detail perfectly complements the traditional hunter style and gives the helmet a sophisticated and luxurious appearance.

The combination of black velvet and a cognac-colored chin strap has quickly become a favorite among riders looking for a classic and elegant competition look.

For riders who prefer a more understated style, the helmets are also available with a fully black chin strap.

Safety Meets Modern Standards

Although the Velvet Collection embraces a traditional appearance, both the Smart Nova and the Cromo 2.0 meet the latest safety standards.

You benefit from:

  • Modern safety technology
  • Excellent ventilation
  • A comfortable fit
  • Removable and washable liners
  • The trusted quality of Kep Italia

This means you never have to compromise between style, comfort and safety.
