FAQs
Does this helmet meet current safety standards?
Yes, it is certified to PAS015:2011 and VG1 01-040 2014-12.
How do I choose between round and oval shapes?
Oval shapes are longer front-to-back, while round shapes have more space at the sides; choosing depends on the natural shape of the rider's head.
Can I wear this for competitions?
Yes, its smart design makes it suitable for both daily hacking and competitive show-jumping.
Is the nylon material easy to clean?
Yes, it can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth.
How do I measure for a child's riding hat?
Measure the circumference of the head at its widest point, usually about one inch above the eyebrows.
Should I replace the helmet after a fall?
Yes, any riding hat that has sustained a significant impact should be replaced immediately, even if no damage is visible.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or wobbly
Adjust the rear harness straps to ensure the tension is evenly distributed around the base of the skull.
Helmet tilts forward or backward
Reposition the helmet so it sits two fingers width above the eyebrows and adjust the side buckles to level the chin strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure you have selected the correct head shape (round or oval) and head circumference in centimeters. Adjust the harness straps until the helmet sits level on the head, neither tilting backward nor falling over the brow. To care for the helmet, wipe the outer nylon shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can weaken the structural integrity of the outer material. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
