Hansbo Sport tops Folksam’s riding helmet test
Hansbo Sport’s riding helmet, HS Vision MIPS, was ranked as the top-performing helmet in Folksam’s comprehensive 2026 riding helmet test. The helmet performed 29 per cent better than the average helmet in the test and achieved the highest overall rating.
For Bjäre Invest, this recognition is a welcome achievement worth highlighting. Hansbo Sport is a brand within Willab, which forms part of Grevieåsen, one of the companies in the Bjäre Invest Group.
Folksam’s test included 15 CE-certified riding helmets and evaluated, among other factors, the helmets’ ability to protect against angled impacts, the most common type of accident in equestrian sports. Only four helmets received Folksam’s “Good Choice” distinction, with the Hansbo HS Vision MIPS achieving the highest ranking.
The results also demonstrated that a higher price does not necessarily equate to better protection. Several considerably more expensive helmets performed less well than the Hansbo Sport model.
“We would like to extend our congratulations to all employees at Grevieåsen, Willab, and Hansbo Sport. The result is a strong endorsement of their dedicated work in quality, product development, and safety,” says Per Gullstrand, CEO of Bjäre Invest.
As a long-term owner, Bjäre Invest is pleased to see companies within the Group strengthen their market positions through dedication, innovation, and strong products. Hansbo Sport’s success in Folksam’s test is an excellent example of this.
