Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, adjust the four-point harness until the helmet sits snugly without movement. If you find the fit is loose, verify the sizing is correct for your head circumference. To maintain the velvet surface, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and debris after each use. The inner liner can be removed by unfastening the clips or tabs and can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a delicate cycle; always ensure the liner is completely air-dried before reinserting it into the helmet. Store the hat in the provided padded bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
