FAQs

Is this hat suitable for cross-country riding?

No, the Charles Owen YR8 is not designed or certified for cross-country riding disciplines.

What safety standards does this hat meet?

This model is compliant with PAS015:2011 and VG1 safety standards.

How do I use the included SOS card?

The SOS card is designed to be filled out with your essential medical information and kept inside the hat or on your person so that emergency services can access it if necessary.

Can I replace the inner lining?

The lining is antibacterial, but it is not intended to be removed. Regular airing is recommended for hygiene.

How should I store the helmet?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.

What age group is this hat intended for?

The YR8 is specifically sized and designed for kids and young equestrians.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable or moves during riding

Adjust the 4-point webbing harness to ensure it is snug against the jawline and the back of the head.

Inner lining feels damp after use

Ensure the hat is stored in a well-ventilated area after each ride to allow the antibacterial lining to air dry.

Dirt accumulation on the suede surface

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or dust; do not use heavy water saturation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets rigorous PAS015:2011 and VG1 safety standards
  • Stylish, low-profile design suitable for various disciplines
  • Antibacterial lining keeps the helmet hygienic
  • Adjustable harness provides a secure and comfortable fit
  • Excellent ventilation keeps riders cool

Cons

  • Not suitable for cross-country riding
  • Microfibre suede finish requires specific care
  • Sizing needs to be precise for optimal safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the 4-point harness is tightened so the helmet sits level on the head, just above the eyebrows. Check that there is no movement when you nod or shake your head. Since the outer shell features a microfibre suede finish, it should be cleaned gently using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid submerging the helmet in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the material. After riding, leave the hat in a well-ventilated area to allow the antibacterial lining to dry out completely. Always store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the shock-absorbing properties of the polystyrene core.
