Helmet Accident Replacement Policy

If you were involved in a riding accident, it is paramount that you replace your helmet. The materials used in riding helmets is specifically designed to withstand a single impact. Once an impact has occurred, the helmet is considered compromised and may not protect you in a secondary accident. Please keep in mind that the impact does not have to happen while riding. Dropping a helmet onto concrete or hard flooring can also damage the internal structures, even if there is not obvious external damage.

For your safety, Olson's tack shop along with all helmet manufacturers highly recommend replacing your helmet after every accident. Since a helmet can be an investment, the following manufacturers offer a replacement policy for helmets involved in a riding accident.

 

KEP:

Olson's Tack Shop believes in safety first and recognizes the importance of proper helmet protection. While KEP Helmets don't offer a standard crash replacement program, we at Olson's are committed to supporting our customers.

We offer the following replacement policy for KEP helmets:
KEP Smart: 15% discount on a new KEP Smart helmet up to 36 months from the original purchase date, regardless of visible damage to the accident-involved helmet.
KEP Cromo 2: 20% discount on a new KEP Cromo 2 helmet up to 36 months from the original purchase date, regardless of visible damage to the accident-involved helmet

Please note:

  • To be eligible for this discount, the original KEP helmet must have been purchased from Olson's Tack Shop.
  • The accident-involved helmet must be returned to Olson's within 30 days of the accident.
  • The discount applies to the purchase of a new KEP Smart or KEP Cromo 2 helmet of the same or similar model, subject to availability.

For inquiries or to initiate the return process, please contact Olson's Tack Shop at 425-454-9453 or info@olsonstack.com
