Description
Back on Track EQ3 Lynx Microfibre Riding Helmet is the wave of the future and the next step in brain protection technology for the equine industry. The most important component of the EQ3 is the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (“MIPS”) technology used.
The EQ3 Lynx riding helmet has prioritised safety, but its comfort and style are equally important.
The removable and washable Coolmax lining creates excellent ventilation.
In an independent test by a Swedish insurance company, Folksam, in 2018, not only did the EQ3 Lynx perform best of all helmets tested, but it also was 30% better than the average helmet, most of which were more expensive.
Equipped with a button on the back to adjust the size for a perfect fit.
Meets the Australian Equestrian safety standards.

What exactly is MIPS?
The MIPS Brain Protection System is a helmet-integrated, low-friction layer designed to reduce rotational motion transferred to the brain from angled impacts to the head. This layer allows the rotational force to be absorbed and redirected rather than transmitted to the brain during an impact. It’s held in place with flexible bands that clip the MIPS liner to the helmet’s foam in multiple anchor points. The system sounds simple, but this technology was developed and tested over countless hours in a lab. Visit this page on MIPS technology to learn more about how it works.
How is a helmet with MIPS technology different from other helmets?
The Back On Track Lynx EQ3 helmet is the first English riding helmet to contain a Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, which has been tested over countless hours and is proven to offer better protection against rotational motion than a helmet without MIPS. Since 1996, research and tests have been performed to compare a helmet with the MIPS Brain Protection System to a conventional helmet. The results showed that it was possible to redirect and reduce the rotational motion transmitted to the brain by adding the MIPS Brain Protection System.
Helmet Fitting/Measuring: To measure for the best fit, find the circumference of the head. First, use a flexible tape measure and place it 1-1/2 cm above the eyebrows, skimming the tops of the ears and taking it around the back of the head to the fullest part. Find the corresponding helmet for their size range using the rider’s measurement and the chart below. Please note that the rider’s hair should be as worn when using the helmet.
Dial-Fit System: The Lynx helmets include a dial-fit system. After fitting the rider for their helmet, adjust the dial so that the helmet fits securely, then adjust the chinstrap.

Love this helmet and the safety features. It looks stylish and felt light on my head.
So happy to have received this helmet in time for my rally. I fell off after a jump and the helmet performed so well. So secure and fitting so well. Helped my neck not get wrenched! I’m a Physiotherapist and very convinced about this helmet after the research.
Love my new helmet. It’s extremely comfortable and is well made. The best helmet I’ve owned and shipping was fast.
Love the adjustable fit, very comfortable and looks great too!
Love the helmet will buy another
