FAQs

Is the helmet safety-certified for competition?

Yes, the hat is certified to PAS 015:2011 and EN 1384:2023 standards, which are widely accepted for most equestrian disciplines.

How do I wash the interior lining?

The lining is removable and machine-washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.

Does this helmet come with a carry bag?

Yes, every hat includes a reusable drawstring storage bag for protection during transport and storage.

Can I replace the peak if it breaks?

The peak is designed to be a flexible, fixed component for safety; it is not intended to be replaced by the user.

What is the benefit of the carbon wrapped rim?

The carbon-wrapped rim is designed to be scratch-resistant, helping the helmet maintain its aesthetic appeal over time despite regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Dial system feels stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure no grit or debris is stuck in the dial mechanism; gently clear any dust with a soft brush.

Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened

Check if the liner is fully seated and snapped into place; adjust the 4-point harness straps for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your helmet, start by loosening the rear dial completely before placing it on your head. Position the hat so it sits level on the forehead, just above the eyebrows. Tighten the dial until the helmet feels snug but comfortable, ensuring there is no excess movement. Adjust the 4-point harness straps so that they sit securely against your face and chin without being restrictive.

For care, wipe the gloss outer shell with a soft, microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. If the helmet is exposed to heavy rain, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the inner materials. The inner comfort lining should be removed and machine-washed according to the included care instructions to maintain hygiene and comfort.
