Troubleshooting
Cap feels too loose
Ensure the elastic rear band is correctly positioned. For a tighter fit, check if the brim is fully extended. If it still feels loose, consider alternative headwear designed for a more secure fit.
Brim is not staying in place
The brim is designed to be flexible. Ensure it is positioned correctly before putting on your helmet, as the helmet straps will help secure it. If it consistently shifts, ensure your helmet is fitted properly.
Cap feels too warm
