FAQs

How do I measure my head for the correct size?

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head, just above your eyebrows and around the back of your head.

Can I wash the entire hat?

No, only the liner is machine washable. Clean the outer shell with a damp cloth.

What safety standards does this hat meet?

The Karben Elisa Riding Hat meets CE and UKCA BSI Kitemark PAS 015:2011 and VG1 standards.

How do I adjust the dial system?

Turn the dial located at the back of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Experiment until you achieve a snug and comfortable fit.

What should I do if my hat is involved in a fall?

Even if the hat appears undamaged, replace it immediately. It may have sustained internal damage that compromises its safety.

How often should I replace my riding hat?

Riding hats should be replaced every 3-5 years, depending on usage and care, or sooner if they have been involved in a fall.

Can I use this hat for competitions?

Yes, this hat meets the necessary safety standards for most equestrian competitions. Check with the specific event organizers for any specific requirements.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the micro-adjustable dial system for a more precise fit. Check the harness adjustment as well.

Ventilation feels inadequate.

Ensure the ventilation shafts are not blocked by hair or other obstructions. Consider the environmental conditions.

Liner becomes soiled or smelly.

Remove and machine wash the liner according to the care instructions. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it.

Harness buckle is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the harness straps are not twisted and the buckle components are clean. Check for any damage to the buckle mechanism.
