FAQs

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

Measure the circumference of your child's head about one inch above their eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of their head. Compare this measurement to the helmet's sizing chart. The helmet should feel snug, with no excessive movement when the head is shaken.

Can the helmet be used for activities other than horse riding?

This helmet is specifically designed and certified for horse riding activities according to PAS 015:2011 and EN 1384:2023 standards. It is not intended or certified for other sports or activities.

How often should I replace my child's riding helmet?

It is recommended to replace a riding helmet every 5 years, or immediately after any impact or damage, even if no visible damage is apparent. Materials can degrade over time.

Are the linings truly machine washable?

Yes, the Comfort Luxe Liner and 3D mesh crown are designed to be machine washable. Please refer to the care label on the liner for specific washing instructions, typically a cool, gentle cycle.

What does CE and BSI Kitemark certification mean?

These certifications indicate that the helmet has been rigorously tested by independent bodies (CE marking for European conformity, BSI Kitemark for British Standards) to meet stringent safety performance requirements for equestrian helmets.

Is the carbon rim purely aesthetic or does it offer protection?

The carbon rim is a durable trim that protects the helmet's edge from scratches and wear. While it enhances the helmet's longevity and appearance, the primary protective function comes from the EPS inner shell and overall helmet construction.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the fit using the Micro Adjustable Dial System. Loosen the dial if too tight, and tighten if too loose. Ensure straps are also correctly adjusted.

Liner feels uncomfortable or causes irritation

Ensure the liner is properly seated. If the issue persists, remove the liner and wash it according to the care instructions. Check that the chin guard is correctly positioned to prevent rubbing.

Ventilation seems insufficient

Ensure the air grills are not blocked by debris or hair. Clean the grills gently with a soft brush. Remember that passive ventilation is designed for airflow, not active cooling.

Buckle is difficult to operate

Ensure the quick-release buckle is clean and free from debris. If it feels stiff, a gentle wipe may resolve the issue. It is designed for easy on/off once correctly engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the helmet is the correct size.
  2. Place the helmet on the head.
  3. Turn the Micro Adjustable Dial System located at the back of the helmet to tighten or loosen until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. The helmet should not move excessively when the head is shaken.
  4. Fasten the quick-release buckle on the 4-point harness. Adjust the straps so they form a 'V' shape under the ears, and the chin strap is snug but not tight.

Compatibility:

This helmet is designed for horse riding activities and meets specific safety standards (PAS 015:2011, EN 1384:2023). It is compatible with most standard riding attire.

Care:

  • Exterior: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The sand-finished exterior is designed to resist wear, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Liner: The Comfort Luxe Liner and 3D mesh crown are removable and machine washable. Follow care instructions on the label, typically on a cool, gentle cycle.
  • Storage: Use the provided reusable drawstring storage bag to protect the helmet from dust, scratches, and excessive sunlight when not in use.
  • Chin Guard: The anti-rub chin guard can be removed for washing.
