Choosing among riding helmets, boots & apparel gets harder when several variants share the Suomy Apex name. For these helmets, match the listed size first, brim style second, and finish third. Several sizes and two brim styles are represented, so the useful question is which configuration suits your priorities.
Quick take
All four share the same EN ASTM F 1163-15, VG1 01, and PAS 015 2011 standards, along with a thermoplastic resin composite shell and 520-gram weight. Those shared points make size, brim style, finish, and price the useful separators here. HNT Black and HNT Blue Navy offer matte finishes, while Chrome Black Rose Gold and Chrome Brown use chrome-and-matte finishes.
Listed-price comparison
Prices run from USD 455.20 to USD 508.00, a $52.80 spread. Use the bars only as a quick view of where each listed price sits in that range.

Decision matrix
- Size first: the 58 cm choice is HNT Black, the 57 cm choices are HNT Blue Navy and Chrome Black Rose Gold, and the 56 cm choice is Chrome Brown.
- Brim style second: Large Brim appears on HNT Black, HNT Blue Navy, and Chrome Brown; Small Brim appears on Chrome Black Rose Gold.
- Finish and price last: once the size and brim combination is right, use the HNT or Chrome finish and the listed-price table to settle the choice.
Product notes
Suomy Apex Riding Helmet - HNT Black Matte Horse Riding Helmet
HNT Black Matte pairs a 58 cm size with Large Brim style, making it the direct match for that particular combination. Its matte black HNT finish also has the simple, discreet direction associated with the Apex description, so it suits a restrained appearance. That is the main reason to choose it: the size, brim, and understated finish align in one variant. The limitation is equally concrete: the listed configuration is 58 cm and Large Brim, so it is not the match for someone seeking the 57 cm or 56 cm entries or the Small Brim style.
Suomy Apex Riding Helmet - HNT Blue Navy Matte Horse Riding Helmet
Blue Navy combines a 57 cm size with Large Brim style and a navy matte HNT finish. That pairing is the concrete reason to choose it, particularly for a shopper who wants the 57 cm entry without moving to Small Brim. The tone-on-tone, discreet direction keeps the appearance visually restrained while retaining the Apex name and HNT styling. Its limitation is the selected configuration: shoppers wanting the 58 cm HNT Black entry, the 56 cm Chrome Brown entry, or a Small Brim style need a different variant within this group.
Suomy Apex Riding Helmet - Chrome Black Rose Gold Matte Horse Riding Helmet
Chrome Black Rose Gold is the 57 cm Small Brim entry, with a chrome-and-matte finish rather than the HNT matte finish. Choose it when the Rose Gold color treatment and Small Brim style are the deciding details, especially if a 57 cm choice is wanted. The combination gives this variant a distinct appearance within the Apex group. Its limitation is configuration: Small Brim is not the Large Brim style shown on the other three entries, and its 57 cm size is not the 56 cm or 58 cm alternative. The finish is a visual distinction, not a basis for claiming different helmet performance.
Suomy Apex Riding Helmet - Chrome Brown Matte Horse Riding Helmet
Chrome Brown is the 56 cm Large Brim configuration, with a Chrome-and-matte finish. Choose it when that listed size, brim style, and brown finish are the desired combination. The brown color phrase creates a different appearance from Black, Blue Navy, and Black Rose Gold, giving shoppers a clear finish-based reason to select it. Its limitation is configuration: shoppers seeking the 57 cm or 58 cm sizes or the Small Brim style need to look at another variant. The Chrome-and-matte treatment is a visual detail, while the shared standards and construction remain common across the group.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a restrained matte look: choose HNT Black Matte or HNT Blue Navy Matte, using the listed size as the tie-breaker.
- For a chrome-accented look: choose Chrome Black Rose Gold or Chrome Brown, with the desired configuration settling the choice.
- For price-first shopping: start with either HNT entry, which occupies the lowest listed-price tier.
The $52.80 spread is separate from the size and appearance decision. First match the listed size and brim style, then use the finish and price to settle the final choice.
